Watching CNN and saw Senator John Warner helping John McCain up to the stage. |
|
McCain looked kind of feeble as he was walking up the stairs. I was just wondering what type of health John McCain is in.

1. He cannot lift his arms higher than his shoulders |
|
He was hanged by them, tied behind his back, for hours on end. He's got nerve damage here and there--arms and legs.
I just cannot fathom the guy's attitude towards torture, given what he went through.

5. Warner is nine years older than McCain. |
|
Warner born 1927, McCain 1936. Of course the POW treatment left McCain in bad shape.
