McCain POW film released by French archives

There is a story at the link below reporting that a film of John McCain being interviewed as a bedridden prisoner during the Vietnam War has been released by the French national archive.



The British report could only find one negative item about John McCain. They did it in the first paragraph:

The video portrays the Republican as a hero but the message may be tarnished as he is filmed smoking a cigarette.

The very idea! Smoking a cigarette in 1967! How outrageous!

I was a patient at Bryan Memorial Hospital in Lincoln, Nebraska for 7 days in 1969. I was in a six-patient ward and four of the patients smoked. Two were chain-smokers.

Smoking was not a big deal in 1967 - even in hospitals.

Is that all the Brits could find to “tarnish” war hero McCain was that he smoked a cigarette in a North Vietnam hospital in 1967?

Wait until the U.S. media gets hold of this story. They will surely find more McCain ‘faults’ in connection with this story.

POW’s were only given cigarettes for propaganda interviews.

McCain does not smoke. Barack Hussein Obama smokes on the sly because he can’t quit.



The British ‘shocking’ revelation that McCain had a cigarette after being captured by Communists in North Vietnam is here. The video is not easy to watch. It brought tears to my eyes.

The Obama smoking story is here.
