You can believe that if you like. I suspect it was simply to get better treatment.

Perhaps you are projecting your own likely response onto McCain. If that's the case, McCain is a much better man than you.

If he wanted better treatment, he would not have declined his captor's offer of an early release. Instead, he refused an early release unless his fellow POWs were released as well. That does not sound like the opportunistic McCain you choose to protray.

Comparing the treatment of POWs by two very different enemys is patently fallacious. These are much different wars, different cultures, and different circumstances.
