Perot: No Love for McCain

Ross Perot, a Texas businessman and former 1992 US Presidential candidate, criticizes Republican presidential candidate John McCain on his ‘war hero' status he reaped as a Vietnam War participant. He is, in Perot's eyes, no hero. Perot accused McCain of abandoning live American captives who were still held after the war. Those POWs, according to Perot, were used for human experimentation.

Perot is no war hero and unlike McCain, he was never held as a prisoner of war. But other POWs will never sit at the same table with McCain, suggested Perot. The Texan billionaire strongly insinuated that McCain had knowledge about POWs encamped in several locations in North Vietnam and that they were never set free after the conflict in Vietnam. All evidence suggesting such existence of American POWs were purportedly erased or hidden by McCain or by people with McCain's blessing. Perot is very adamant on the POW issue and has urged other veterans to seek for the truth regarding those missing soldiers.

In his defense, McCain referred to Perot's accusations as lies and that his theory of American POWs left behind in Vietnam was a hoax. In addition, he said that evidences regarding the supposed American POWs in Vietnam are nonexistent and that Perot was "nuttier than a fruitcake."
