Dr. Steve Pieczenik on John McCain's Military Record
Dr. Steve Pieczenik challenges the heroic narrative of John McCain, alleging that McCain was a "spoiled brat" who crashed multiple planes due to incompetence. Pieczenik claims that McCain's injuries were sustained during his ejection rather than through torture and that fellow POWs in the Hanoi Hilton viewed him as a collaborator. He further alleges that McCain's father, an Admiral, protected him from military discipline throughout his career.
