in that article: ________________ "I am a war criminal," McCain said on "60 Minutes" in 1997. "I bombed innocent women and children." Although it came too late to save the Vietnamese he'd killed 30 years earlier, it was a brave statement. Nevertheless, he smiles agreeably as he hears himself described as a "war hero" as he arrives at rallies in a bus marked "No Surrender." ____________
That definitely out of context. That was war propaganda that the Vietnamese made him sign along with other US soldiers after being beat in and out of consciousness for days, weeks, years. McCain just explained the situation where he was coerced into making this propaganda as an example that after being beat in and out of consciousness and threatened to be killed (and probably watching his friends be tortured and killed) even he (John McCain) broke down.
