McCain Revisited
This is from a post at Random and Sundry Things.
In an LA Times op-ed, Matt Welch compares presidential candidate John McCain’s recent statements about his post-Vietnam studies with an essay he wrote at the time.
Welch obtained a copy of a National War College thesis written by McCain in 1974, after spending five and a half years as a POW in Vietnam. He wrote the thesis during a nine-month course that, according to McCain, studied “why and how my country had fought in Vietnam.” However, Welch says the thesis is actually “a relatively technical assessment of how the military’s post-Korean War changes to the Code of Conduct for POWs played out on the ground in Vietnam.”
