McCain tells a somewhat different story in his memoir. He says a bystander smashed a rifle butt into his shoulder, breaking it, while someone else stuck a bayonet into his ankle and groin.
Yea, it kinda hurts his credibility when Johnny came out with another version entirely.
If you want a window into the man (leaving out politics, military experience, personal views, etc) look into his first marriage.

There was a big push back in the day by Vietnam Vets lobbying congress to try and put pressure on Vietnam in terms of tracking down on the POW/MIA that never came home. The guys knew the prisons and knew their buddies were still there as slave laborers. John McCain shut them down at every turn he could. He refused to allow any looking into of the prisons and possible MIA/POWs still out there. Fought it tooth and nail. Said he knew for a fact there were none. Go to you tube and watch the videos of the testimony on capitol hill back in the 80s I think it was. Disgusting.

Not an excuse at all, but insulting someone with his obvious control doesnt seem to have worked in their favor.

Regardless of all that, he has done a lot of harm to the American people out of greed and ego. Especially as of late, voting against something the majority are for just out of spite because he hates Trump. Shows no character, nor morals and no compassion towards his fellow man. Just like a songbird in POW camp would act.
I could be wrong but that my .02
