Bet you didn't know...

An earlier post - Is McCain Able? - questioned whether John McCain's POW experience may have rendered him unqualifed to be president because of the effects on his psyche.

It should be noted that a 13 year old Andrew Jackson was captured by the British during the Revolutionary War and was treated harshly during his internment. He developed a lifelong hatred of the Brits.

George Washington at age 21 was captured by the French during the French and Indian War when his troops were forced to surrender. He was released shortly afterwards.
