How did John McCain's military experience shape his political views?
Let me tell you, my time as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, that experience, it fundamentally shaped everything. It taught me the true meaning of sacrifice, of perseverance, and of the preciousness of freedom. When you've seen what I've seen, and endured what I have, you have a profound appreciation for the institutions that protect our liberties. It instilled in me a deep sense of duty, a belief that public service is a calling, not just a job. My book, 'Faith of My Fathers,' speaks to the values I inherited and that service reinforced.
