The only truth BigC knows about his father's experience is what he's been told.  Chances are BigC's father was not a high profile POW like McCain who suffered extra as the result of his family connections.  It was more important to the enemy to exploit him. 

I'm confident his father whould be much more charitable in his assessment of McCain's experience as a POW.  One thing I know about those who've been unlucky enough to have been in this position is their common empathy and bond of brotherhood that would make criticism such as BigC unthinkable and dishonorable. Unlike BigC, they understand that when you serve your country, you don't have the luxury of picking your wars.

I suggest they would confine their disagreement to the issues, since his heroism as a POW is already well documented.
