2. He isn't honorable now.
And I guess he wasn't honorable then. I don't think most people would fault anyone who breaks under torture. However, if that person pretends they are a hero when they are not, and benefits unfairly from that hero status, that is deceptive and dishonorable.

3. Exactly. The 1992 POW/MIA hearings are of MAJOR importance

McCain is NO HERO. Lots of vets know it, but lots of them don't. Below is a similar video which some of those clips came from...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFM1xqqTX_g

In 1992 McCain basically sold out any remaining POWs so that his own real record as a POW would never be seen... because it isn't so heroic as he pretends. HE BETRAYED THEM, AND THEIR FAMILIES. He could've at least let them have closure, and there was strong evidence that some were still alive as of 1992. HE DIDN'T CARE. HE LEFT THEM THERE... just to save his own face. He wasn't being "tortured", in the safety of a Senate hearing room when he did this.

McCain could be blackmailed with these POW records by ANYBODY, ANYTIME. He already sold out to keep it quiet, he'd do it again. What will the price be if he was President? A war? Could be anything. He is a major security risk!


Most of the people on this video are Republicans and/or veterans.

5. The debates
will expose a lot. Even with his free pass from the press for gaffes and outright lies, McCain is looking bad. Very bad.
