If you think W had it easy, check out Reagan’s military service https://www.reaganlibrary.gov/reagans/ronald-reagan/military-service-ronald-reagan He did PR movies and voice over work for recruitment and training videos He was stationed in Burbank and never saw a nazi (well, not a German one anyway)

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:when i was younger i considered dubya's absentee military career as one of the many reasons i loathed the man. now i realize it was probably the most laudable thing the fuckster ever did. similarly, ducking out of vietnam even out of cowardice is still the most honorable action in trump's life

The article in the OP goes into a lot more detail about how bullshit the tortured POW myth is, based on the book it's summarizing. US POWs were treated fairly well even compared to the average North Vietnamese, being given basic medical care and adequate food. Lower class enlisted and draftees tended to sympathize with the Vietnamese - especially black POWs. It was the officers from upper class backgrounds who were psychotically committed to the war on Vietnam. They'd often emaciate and mutilate themselves just to make it look like they were being tortured for film reels. If you doubt the Vietnamese denial that they tortured McCain, then read the article.

I remember a pow account where the worst treatment the guy recalled was when it was about Christmas time, the NVA sent a chaplain to the camp to give out complimentary oranges asking everyone if they were Christian, and then some dumb rear end in a top hat said no and didn’t get an orange
