NoFuxGiven In the war when John was in the Hanoi Hilton, as we called it, Washington, under the Republican administration of Richard Nixon obtained the NVCs cooperation to have him released, as per his father wish as his dad was a high rank US military official.
McCain knew this would crush his political aspirations and claims he stayed and refused his own release out of solidarity with the others in his POW camp. The NVC wasnt too happy about him doing that and it cost him the use of that arm and several other men's lives.
That's what the grapevine had to say about it. I would tend to believe he was a Rhino, based on his track record in the Senate.
Conspiracy? Look in the mirror when you say that. You're conspiring against being er, well informed.
