John McCain's sadistic North Vietnamese homosexual captors

Where did McCain get the notion that his captors were gay if they never hit on him? Were there any openly gay North Vietnamese soldiers in 1970? I'm going to guess no.

McCain's first personal account of his captivity and torture, for US News & Report.
They posted it online in January, but maybe it's because we're all so familiar with his tale at this point that no one noticed, until now, the bit where he says all his captors were homosexuals who got off on whipping him. No, that is not made up.

Yes, ok. What?? How did POW McCain know they were gay if they weren't gay "toward him"? Were the homosexuals the ones who enjoyed the beatings or were the sadists a separate category? We have lots of unanswered questions here. Like—how come he mentions how gay the North Vietnamese were but leaves out that inspiring tale of the cross on the floor he mentioned last weekend?

Just as male on female rape is about power, dominance and humiliation.

Sounds to me that if McCain thinks his captures were gay he must have been, seen or heard them raping their prisoners. McCain may have escaped rape because he had some protection because of his parentage or because he was willing to squeal like a pig to avoid the rape.

There's no easy way to say this, but I'll try.

The typical mannerisms of Vietnamese males were seen by many American soldiers as somewhat effeminate, really girlish. The way they squat. The way they would hold hands or touch while talking in a way western males do not. The way they walk in their backless sandals. The high pitched voices.

These were cultural things, like the way Russian men exchange kisses, but they were seen as more than they were.

Guys like McCain thought they were surrounded by Asian homosexuals, and everywhere they looked, they saw their fears and misapprehensions. If there is one thing we know about McCain, it's that the world looks very strange filtered through his brain.

I draw these conclusions because McCain has never really suggested that he SAW homosexual sex taking place. If he has said that, I'm not aware of it.

I'd be curious to see the thoughts of Clifford and Tahiti Nut on this topic.
