Fifty things you didn't know about John McCain

[preciousjeni]

McCain is 72 years old????????????????????? I knew he was old, but I didn't realize he was that old.

Anyway, three of those fifty things stuck out to me:

22. His captors continued beating McCain in the hospital, coercing his ship and squadron name, and their intended bombing target. When pushed to give the names of his squadron members, he gave the names of the National Football League's Green Bay Packer's offensive line.

30. To this day, McCain cannot lift his arms over his head from the injuries sustained during this period.

32. On one of these occasions, a sympathetic prison guard secretly loosened McCain's rope bindings for the night. Months later, on Christmas Day, this same guard secretly drew a cross in the dirt next to McCain. McCain often relates this story as a testimony to his faith and humanity.

All of that is pretty awesome.
