   “Among U.S. servicemen taken captive during the Korean War, as many as nine out of 10 survivors may suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental disorders more than 35 years after their release, psychologist Patricia B. Sutker of the New Orleans Veterans Administration Medical Center and her colleagues report in the January AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PSYCHIATRY.”

   The following article details the measures and bills McCain pushed to shut down any further inquiry or investigation into American MIA/POW left in Vietnam in order to be able to open up trade with Vietnam. This article also discusses his treatment of the families of our missing in action and prisoners of war for speaking out. It is worth noting that his father-in-law opened up a multi-billion dollar alcohol business in Vietnam as soon as trade was possible through his son-in-law’s efforts.

   “Over the years, he has regularly vilified any group or person who keeps trying to pry out more evidence about MIAs. He calls them “hoaxers” and “charlatans” and “conspiracy theorists.” He decries the “bizarre rantings of the MIA hobbyists” and describes them as “individuals primarily who make their living off of keeping the issue alive.” Before he died last year of leukemia, retired Col. Ted Guy, a highly admired POW and one of the most dogged resisters in the camps, wrote an angry open letter to the senator in an MIA newsletter. In it, he said of McCain’s stream of insults: “John, does this include Senator Bob Smith and other concerned elected officials? Does this include the families of the missing where there is overwhelming evidence that their loved ones were ‘last known alive?’ Does this include some of your fellow POWs?”

   While I honor Mr. McCain’s service, I feel it’ s the duty of all of us to ensure he is not only physically fit but mentally fit as well for this extremely demanding job.
