If pessimism is despair, optimism is cowardice and stupidity. -Francis Parker Yockey
One other note on McCain: some time ago, I spoke to a man who would be in a position to know this, and he said that from what he knew, the injuries to McCain’s arms were consistent with failing to maintain proper position while ejecting from his aircraft. Not to say that he was not tortured at all, but that would be much better optics for him than “I panicked when I bailed out and did this to myself”.
