During the Vietnam War John McCain joined almost 600 other Americans who became prisoners of war. McCain would sustain severe permanent injuries as a result and spend over 5 years in captivity. But after he entered politics, the knives came out, mostly from Democrats, but also from some Republicans. Accusations later arose accusing John McCain of committing treason while a prisoner of war, and other allegations of misconduct while in political office. Much of this resurfaced after his death from brain cancer in 2018, but what is true, and what is false? Written and hosted by Colin D. Heaton. Forgotten History is a 10th Legion Pictures Production.
