It became very obvious when they started letting people like senator McCain and senator Romney - two decent fellows - alone in favor of openly racists and conspiracy theorists that would eventually lead to Trumpism.

    2 years in solitary confinement when he could have been released... what a remarkable human being.

    I'm not a McCain fan, he was a poor presidential candidate, to endure what a prisoner had to at the Hanoi Hilton took tremendous strength and courage. I have absolute respect for those who endured such horrific treatment by the NVA at the HH. I'M not sure at what point I would break under constant torture. God bless all who had to endure.

    No matter what side of the politician spectrum you are on, you can say this man fought for his country.

    In 1987 I was part of the cast/filmmakers that made The Hanoi Hilton-a film about the prison they talk about in this clip. Among other things, we recreated those incredibly horrific torture scenes and even though they were not real it always bothered me to imagen how Fing bad it was for the men who actually experienced. Additionally, John McCain himself was in our film and I had the honor of meeting and working with him.

      Ignored Advice Productions I’m sure you’re well versed at flying combat sorties and evading capture after ejecting. After all only someone who’s actually lived to tell the tale would be armchair quarterbacking how and where to eject once hit (because all of us Airmen plan on being hit and know exactly when and where it will occur). But thank you ever so much for your input.
