I remember that topic's being a subject of considerable discussion
immediately following the Korean War. Urging that captured soldiers not
resist was at that time a distinctly minority position. Is that currently
the position of the US Army?


McCain obviously thought so.


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


So in your view he offered no resistance at all? What is the basis of that
conclusion?


That's your statement, not mine.
