There's 'singing' and there's signing and reciting a prepared insincere statement after enduring torture. You have to be a willfully ignorant moral imbecile to not see the distinction. Congratulations.
Truly an amazing post coming from a non-serving little piss ant like yourself. The closest you ever came to a uniform was when you were pulled over, multiple times, for DUI or when you opened the door to buy Girl Scout cookies.
You would have spilled your guts in captivity if your captors simply showed you a pair of pliers.
Do you ACTUALLY feel more like a man by pissing on a dead man and by opining on something you have NO idea about?

Quote:"Senator McCain has spoken candidly for years, in media interviews and his own memoir, of making a false confession tape after being tortured as a POW in North Vietnam. Although his 'confession' was coerced by days of extreme physical abuse, he always regretted it."
In his 1999 memoir Faith of My Fathers, McCain discusses at length his five and a half years as a POW, describing in excruciating detail the torture he endured, admitting that his captors broke him after a series of beatings and prolonged physical abuse, not to mention dysentery and various other maladies.
In one passage, McCain writes of an attempt at suicide, then a further beating, and finally, his acquiescence:
At one point, several months into his captivity, McCain was offered early release but refused it, telling his captors that it would violate the U.S. military's code of conduct for American POWs, which requires that prisoners cannot accept parole and must be released in the order of their capture.
According to a 1999 investigation of McCain's war record by New Times managing editor Amy Silverman, McCain's decision to remain a POW, which included two years of solitary confinement, was confirmed by a September 1968 cable from Averell Harriman, U.S. ambassador-at-large to the State Department. Harriman stated in the cable that "McCain's captors had offered him early release, but that he had refused."
Other POWs who knew and/or celled with McCain during his captivity have made statements attesting to his ill treatment by the North Vietnamese. Upon ejecting from his aircraft, McCain broke both arms and his right leg, and he says his left arm was rebroken by the North Vietnamese during the beatings he endured. To this day, he walks with a slight limp and his arms are visibly impaired.
Interestingly, recordings of the voices of American servicemen other than McCain are used in this same broadcast. Each man makes similar statements about their treatment in North Vietnamese POW camps.
