Was this ever asked of Mcain; "Was being a POW worth it?"
"You spent 5 years as a POW in a war we lost, now you want to keep our troops in harms way to achieve "vistory". Was you sacrifice worth it. Were all those lives worth the cost?

2. I'd like to ask if he was grateful for the anti-war protestors
Or would he rather spend 50 years in Hanoi.... Make it a hundred.
Would it have been worth it to him to prevent all those horrors our country endured after we lost?

I'm just glad I didn't have to learn to speak Vietnamese.
