I remember that topic's being a subject of considerable discussion

resist was at that time a distinctly minority position. Is that currently
the position of the US Army?

McCain obviously thought so.

So you're buying the NV tale that McCain's stay at the Hanoi Hilton was
simply a pleasant vacation?

Not what I said, or even implied.

So precisely what did you intend to imply about McCain by your statement?

Start by reading what YOU wrote, and then my reply.

McCain obviously thought so.

Rather than resist, McCain capitulated and made anti-American
statements. He must have thought that was the thing to do.
