Guys, this video is an excerpt from the 2005 documentary "Missing, Presumed Dead: The Search for America's POWs," and details how John McCain fought to keep information on POWs classified so that his own history could be kept secret.

McCain even admitted that, upon being brought into the POW camp, he offered the North Vietnamese any information they wanted as long as he got medical treatment.
-----------------------------------------------------------
IN MCCAIN'S OWN WORDS (1973):
-----------------------------------------------------------
I said, "O.K., I'll give you military information if you will take me to the hospital." He left and came back with a doctor, a guy that we called "Zorba," who was completely incompetent. He squatted down, took my pulse. He did not speak English, but shook his head and jabbered to "The Bug." I asked, "Are you going to take me to the hospital?" "The Bug" replied, "It's too late." I said, "If you take me to the hospital, I'll get well."
"Zorba" took my pulse again, and repeated, "It's too late." They got up and left, and I lapsed into unconsciousness.
Sometime later, "The Bug" came rushing into the room, shouting, "Your father is a big admiral; now we take you to the hospital."

Was Mccain a "HERO?"
Did he deserve 17 medals? What about all the other POWs, men who went MIA, men who were killed, or men who actually fought tooth and nail in the jungles of Vietnam for YEARS? In my opinion, McCain effectively sat out the war and received special treatment both before his capture, in the camp, and his whole adult life as the son of an admiral and then as a "war hero" because he spent 5 years as a POW.
They also don't tell you that McCain graduated in the bottom 1% of his class at Annapolis, crashed five (5) jets during his short time in service, and is believed by some to have been responsible for over 130 deaths due to a 1967 fire on board an aircraft carrier, though responsibility for the event has not been officially laid on McCain to this day. However, OFFICIAL accounts WILL admit that the fire seemed to have started at or near McCain's jet, with McCain narrowly escaping with his life. 130+ men died in the travesty. Immediately after the fire, McCain was transferred to another ship--the USS Oriskany. SUSPICIOUS, isn't it?
But the most despicable facts are that McCain hasn't done a thing for other veterans other than to damn them to hell. As this video shows, he vehemently blocked the 1992 efforts aimed at trying to find out the truth about what happened to our POWs. Yes, people, because of McCain--there likely were/are American veterans somewhere in the world who never came home, and who spent their dying days being tortured in unknown prisons somewhere in the world, while their families spent the rest of their lives in tears wondering what had happened to them.
Sadly, this is the world we live in.
