Lost McCain footage found in Sweden – The Local — McCain in these pictures, to me at least, looks as if he is doing his best to merely walk. He has a distinct limp. But since he is seen here NOT on crutches you can be sure someone will think he phonied up his being on crutches later. Since the Swedes seemed to make a point of this, you can be sure it will come out in the USA too.

During the summer as he was working on his book, Eriksson went back into the archives to find footage for the accompanying DVD and discovered the sequence with McCain.

“As far as we know, these are the only images that exist from when McCain was released in Hanoi,” said Eriksson.

“In American descriptions of the event, it is often said that he returned to the US on crutches. But he certainly didn’t leave North Vietnam on crutches.”
