Actually, we can't be sure that very much of what John McCain says about his military career is true, including the details of his POW story. There's talk of McCain plagiarizing from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn the cross in the dirt story, for example.
We know from McCain's record--from the naval academy to the Keating Five--that McCain is not the most ethical, truthful, trustworthy person one might like.
If he's not got something to hide, why won't he release his military records?
Personally, I am at point where I don't believe anything McCain says about his life, including his time as a POW, unless it's backed up with reputable third party verification.
For example, McCain claims he was offered early release by the Vietnamese when they learned his father was an admiral, but he refused to leave the POW camp. How do you refuse to leave a POW camp? Is McCain saying that POWs had control over the Vietnamese releasing them or not? I may be wrong, but that sounds nuts. Since when do prisoners decide if they leave prison or not.
Show us the military records, John.
