Looking ONLY at Information from his own Book, His Own words, Articles taken from Newspapers, Government Documents and Transcripts of hearings.
Lets Begin:
John McCain seriously violated the Military Code of Conduct.
The United States Military Code of Conduct orders American military personnel to resist capture at all cost and if captured; to attempt to escape, to give the enemy no information other than name, rank, serial number and date of birth, to take charge if senior, to obey orders of the seniors, to accept no favors from the enemy and to make no written or oral statements disloyal to the United States.
During his 23rd mission over Vietnam on Oct. 26, 1967, Lt. Commander John McCain was shot down by a surface-to-air missile.
After being periodically slapped around for “three or four days” by his captors who wanted military information from him, McCain called for an officer on his fourth day of captivity. He told the officer, “O.K., I’ll give you military information if you will take me to the hospital.” -U.S. News and World Report, May 14, 1973 article written by former POW John McCain
“Demands for military information were accompanied by threats to terminate my medical treatment if I [McCain] did not cooperate. Eventually, I gave them my ship’s name and squadron number, and confirmed that my target had been the power plant.” Page 193-194, Faith of My Fathers by John McCain.
June 1969 - “Reds Say PW Songbird Is Pilot Son of Admiral. . . Hanoi has aired a broadcast in which the pilot son of United States Commander in the Pacific, Adm. John McCain, purportedly admits to having bombed civilian targets in North Vietnam and praises medical treatment he has received since being taken prisoner.” New York Daily News, June 5, 1969
McCain Lied about the reason he didn't take the offer to be released.
Vietnamese doctors operate (early December 1967) on McCain’s Leg. Later that month, six weeks after he was shot down, McCain was taken from the hospital and delivered to a POW camp, Room No. 11 in “The Plantation” and into the hands of two other U.S. POWs, Air Force majors George “Bud” Day and Norris Overly. They helped further nurse him along until he was eventually able to walk by himself. –Faith of My Fathers by John McCain
McCain, Day and Overly, were relocated (early January 1968) to “another end of the camp, a place we called ‘the Corn Crib.’” A group of “obviously senior” Communist Party members visited and talked with McCain. –Faith of My Fathers by John McCain
Overly was offered and he accepted early release. He was released February 16. –Faith of My Fathers by John McCain
Overly was released with David Matheny and John Black. “They were the first three POW’s to be released by the North Vietnamese.” U.S. News and World Report, May 14, 1973 article written by former POW John McCain
A September 13, 1968, cable from Averell Harriman, U.S. ambassador-at-large, to the State Department confirmed that McCain’s captors had offered him early release, but that he had refused. The cable reported that, according to the Vietnamese, “Commander McCain feared that if he was released before the war is over, President [Lyndon] Johnson might ’cause difficulties’ for his father because people will wonder if McCain had been brainwashed.”
McCain wasn't tutored Physically as much as Psychologically.
1999 - March 25, 1999, The Phoenix New Times: Ted Guy and Gordon “Swede” Larson, two former POWs, who were McCain’s senior ranking officers (SRO’s), at the time McCain says he was tortured in solitary confinement, told the New Times that while they could not guarantee that McCain was not physically harmed, they doubted it.
“Between the two of us, it’s our belief, and to the best of our knowledge, that no prisoner was beaten or harmed physically in that camp [known as "The Plantation"],” Larson says. “. . . My only contention with the McCain deal is that while he was at The Plantation, to the best of my knowledge and Ted’s knowledge, he was not physically abused in any way. No one was in that camp. It was the camp that people were released from.”
“In May of 1968, I [McCain] was interviewed by two North Vietnamese generals at separate times.” U.S. News and World Report, May 14, 1973 article written by former POW John McCain
McCain’s interrogators considered him a “special prisoner.” They believed that because he came from a “royal family,” he would, when finally released, return to the United States to some important military or government job.
In January 1970, I [McCain] was taken to a quiz with ‘The Cat.’ He told me that he wanted me to see a foreign guest.” U.S. News and World Report, May 14, 1973 article written by former POW John McCain
A declassified DOD document reports an interview between POW McCain and Dr. Fernando Barral, a Spanish psychiatrist who was living in Cuba at the time. The interview was published in the Havana Granma in January 1970
***********************
The I'm Too Lazy or Brainwashed TL/DR version.
McCain lied about just about every possible part of his experience in Vietnam.
McCain was Psychologically Tortured and possibly Brainwashed.
McCain is a Risk to National Security and is possibly Unwittingly conducting Espionage.
