McCain surrogate lies about guard breaking his arm (it happened in crash).

Another POW, Same Story

After a brief conversation with Col. Bud Day, I can confirm that Col. Day is most likely the toughest man alive in addition to being the most decorated Air Force veteran in history. Some of the details Day shared with the McCain Report are too gory to reproduce here, but he did confirm that "not long after we all got back together {in the camp}," McCain told him the story of the prison guard who drew a cross in the dirt one Christmas.

"We were bringing each other up to date, he was telling me how he {McCain} had been tortured," Day said. The guards had "busted his arm," and "John was complaining that they'd treated him like an animal."

His left arm was fractured and right arm broken when he ejected. Afterwards his left shoulder was crushed by the Vietnamese when he was captured. In August, 1968 when the torture sessions began his left arm was broken by his guards. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_life_and_military_career_of_John_McCain
