[QUOTE="Jones, post: 384829, member: 4805"] I think one of the first things they teach you in SERE school is that anyone can be broken, the Hollywood hero who holds out and never talks is just that, a Hollywood fantasy. It doesn't matter how tough you are or how much you love your country, at the end of the day everyone has a breaking point and a skilled torturer will find it pretty quickly. The code of conduct requires that POWs evade answering questions to the best of their ability, but the US does not hold it's service members accountable for anything they reveal under torture, nor should they. I personally think it's reprehensible to denigrate McCain for anything he might have said or done while being tortured, but it honestly doesn't surprise me after the hearing all the stuff that was said about Kerry in the last election. I'm not a fan of either man, but at the end of the day they both served their country honorably in time of war and they both deserve some respect for that. It's a shame that politics in this country has become so degenerate that a candidate's military service has become just one more thing to twist and use against him. [/QUOTE]
