“His Vietnamese captors soon realized their POW, John Sidney McCain III, came from a well-bred line in the American military elite. . .The Vietnamese realized, this poor stooge has propaganda value. The admiral’s boy was used to special treatment, and his captors knew that. They were working him.”

I'm quite sure McCain made sure they knew this from the second he was captured...probably screaming it at the top of lungs "I'm important! Don't kill me!"

I think he is on the record as admitting such. As soon as he did they fixed his leg or whatever, then they fixed his weak mind.

He was indeed a "Fortunate Son" as annunciated in the song by John Fogarty.

I have a neighbor named Walter Eugene Wilber that was worse than McKooK. He played basketball for the videos to show how good they had it. He also "got religion" while a POW and said war was against his principles. Mind you he was a Lt. Cmdr. which took some years before he found himself.

If you want to read of such a person, just google his name. The vets that were there never forgot McKooK or Wilber.

Here is the url for a full report written by his fellow POWs that did suffer.

The Navy wanted to hang him but to do so they would have to hang McKooK, so everyone walked away, a deep stain on the Navy.
