Tim Ryan: “John McCain, who has actually been through it, the most well-known political prisoner in our country's history, now…”

“John McCain, who has actually been through it, the most well-known political prisoner in our country's history, now, given the modern media today and the kind of fame that he has generated, says that this is a bad thing for our soldiers. This isn't about anyone else's soldiers. This is about our soldiers. You want to be promilitary? You want to be pro-U.S. soldier? You want to protect our soldiers? You failed them on body armor. You failed them with a plan to get out. And now if they get caught, you are going to say there are no international standards in which we can hold these other countries by, and you will be able to do anything you want to the American soldiers. Now, we know there are rogue people, but there are many people who will get political prisoners and actually abide by the rules. We know there are some that won't. But to go against John McCain and to go against a JAG officer like Lindsey Graham, and to go against Mr. Warner, Chair of the Armed Services Committee, who has been in for years.”
