@oralloy,
Obviously you have no factual information bout McCain and his capture than the crap you suck up from our "Liar -in-Chief" Trump.
A historical account of John McCain's capture
McCain's plane went into a vertical inverted spin.[111] McCain bailed out upside down at high speed;[112] the force of the ejection fractured his right arm in three places, his left arm, and his right leg at the knee, and knocked him unconscious.[112][113] McCain nearly drowned after parachuting into Trúc Bạch Lake in Hanoi; the weight of his equipment was pulling him down, and as he regained consciousness, he could not use his arms.[106] Eventually, he was able to inflate his life vest using his teeth.[106] Several Vietnamese, possibly led by Department of Industry clerk Mai Van On, pulled him ashore.[114] A mob gathered around, spat on him, kicked him, and stripped him of his clothes; his left shoulder was crushed with the butt of a rifle and he was bayoneted in his left foot and abdominal area.[106][112][113] He was then transported to Hanoi's main Hỏa Lò Prison, nicknamed the "Hanoi Hilton" by American POWs.[115]
McCain reached Hỏa Lò in as bad a physical condition as any prisoner during the war.[115] His captors refused to give him medical care unless he gave them military information; they beat and interrogated him, but McCain only offered his name, rank, serial number, and date of birth[116][117] (the only information he was required to provide under the Geneva Conventions and permitted to give under the U.S. Code of Conduct).[105] Soon thinking he was near death, McCain said he would give them more information if taken to the hospital,[116] hoping he could then put his interrogators off once he was treated.[118] A prison doctor came and said it was too late, as McCain was about to die anyway.[116] Only when the North Vietnamese discovered that his father was a high-ranking admiral did they give him medical care,[116] calling him "the crown prince".[115] Two days after McCain's plane went down, that event and his status as a POW made the front pages of The New York Times[92] and The Washington Post.[119] Interrogation and beatings resumed in the hospital; McCain gave the North Vietnamese his ship's name, squadron's name, and the attack's intended target.[120] This information, along with personal details of McCain's life and purported statements by McCain about the war's progress, would appear over the next two weeks in the North Vietnamese official newspaper Nhân Dân[105] as well as in dispatches from outlets such as the Cuban news agency Prensa Latina.[121] Disclosing the military information was in violation of the Code of Conduct, which McCain later wrote he regretted, although he saw the information as being of no practical use to the North Vietnamese.[122] Further coerced to give future targets, he named cities that had already been bombed, and responding to demands for the names of his squadron's members, he supplied instead the names of the Green Bay Packers' offensive line.[120][123]
flight suit hanging in a display case
Decades later, McCain's flight suit and gear were put on display at a museum in the remaining portion of Hỏa Lò Prison.
McCain spent six weeks in the hospital,[103] receiving marginal care in a dirty, wet environment.[124] A prolonged attempt to set the fractures on his right arm, done without anesthetic, was unsuccessful;[125] he received an operation on his broken leg but no treatment for his broken left arm.[126] He was temporarily taken to a clean room and interviewed by a French journalist, François Chalais, whose report was carried on the French television program Panorama in January 1968[127] and later in the U.S. on the CBS Evening News.[128] The film footage of McCain lying in the bed, in a cast, smoking cigarettes and speaking haltingly,[129] would become one of the most widely distributed images of McCain's imprisonment.[127] McCain was observed by a variety of North Vietnamese, including renowned Vietnamese writer Nguyễn Tuân and Defense Minister and Army commander-in-chief General Võ Nguyên Giáp.[105][130] Many of the North Vietnamese observers assumed that McCain must be part of America's political-military-economic elite.[131] Now having lost fifty pounds (twenty-three kilograms), in a chest cast, covered in grime and eyes full of fever, and with his hair turned white,[103] in early December 1967 McCain was sent to a prisoner-of-war camp on the outskirts of Hanoi nicknamed "the Plantation".[105][132] He was placed in a cell with George "Bud" Day, a badly injured and tortured Air Force pilot (later awarded the Medal of Honor) and Norris Overly, another Air Force pilot; they did not expect McCain to live another week.[133][134] Overly, and subsequently Day, nursed McCain and kept him alive;[134] Day later recalled that McCain had "a fantastic will to live".[135]
In March 1968, McCain was put into solitary confinement, where he remained for two years
