This from a guy who (1) hid his HS & college grades and (2) dodged Vietnam service with a fake bone spurs claim.

McCain, Purple Heart & Silver Star recipient, returning home after 1,967 days as a POW.
In 1967, McCain’s bomber was shot down. He ejected. The force broke both arms & his leg.
He sank to a lake bottom, but pulled his life preserver with his teeth.
Upon capture, they shattered his shoulder with a rifle butt, & stabbed him in the gut & foot.

After learning his dad was an admiral, the North Vietnamese hoped to score a propaganda victory by offering McCain an early release.
McCain refused the offer on the condition that he would only accept if every man captured before him was released as well.

After he refused an early release, McCain’s captors demanded he write a letter confessing to crimes against the North Vietnamese people.
When McCain refused, guards took shifts beating him every 2-3 hours for 4 days, during which they broke his ribs and his left arm.

The Vietnam war ended on Jan. 27, 1973. McCain was released on March 14, 1973.
Due to his many injuries and poor medical care, McCain could never again lift either arm above his shoulders.
He never used his captivity for sympathy or praise, and only reluctantly spoke of it.
