He wasalso one of the most influential Americans of the last few decades, despite failing in his two bids at the Presidency of the United States. His time as a Senator waseventfuland peppered with moments of heroism, like his vote against the repeal of Obamacare, but what happened to John McCain in Vietnam is what really cements him as an American hero.During the Vietnam War, McCain was held prisoner at the Hoa Lo Prison, which literally translatesto "hell hole." The facility was better known as the Hanoi Hotelor the Hanoi Hilton as an ironic reference to the horrors that really occurred there.What the Arizona Senator went through in the service of his country is no secret. John McCains time as a POW is well-documented, thanks to accounts from McCain himself along with fellow captives.The inhumane treatment of POWs at the Hoa Lo Prison in Vietnam included solitary confinement, starvation, and outright torture in an effort to break prisoners. Many captives, including McCain, reached their personal breaking points, and beyond.
