don't forget the over 500 POWs in Laos and Vietnam he prevented being rescued from 1975-1986.

yeah those were his crimes in vietnam just before 1975. they didn't stop till 1986 though…
He bailed out over Hanoi and fell into a lake (so-called West Lake of Ho Tay in Hanoi. Lots of locals attest to this. Heck the North Vietnamese even have a plaque there today commemorating the event.
Maybe he bailed out on purpose but… I suspect that would take too much of balls for McStain, as the locals were likely to rip him to shreds.
Clinton News Network version of the story so take with a grain of salt but some of the locals' recollections are interesting:
"October 26, 1967, was McCain's 23rd mission. His target was a power plant on the outskirts of Hanoi.
"I was still in the dive, I had just started to pull out and got hit by a surface-to-air missile, and it basically took the wing off the aircraft," McCain told CNN in one of a series of conversations for "McCain Revealed." "And so I was gyrating very violently, almost straight down, so I had to eject very quickly."
Retracing McCain's steps in Vietnam was a fascinating experience. On the shores of Ho Truc Bach – White Bamboo Lake – we spent time with Nguyen Dang Doanh, who said he was on the far side of the lake that morning when he saw a parachute splash down in the water.
McCain was "stretched out – he was lifted by the life jacket," Doanh said. "Then we all pushed him here [to the edge of the lake] and the security forces surrounded him. .. At that point everyone in the village was here. Everyone came down to see the American pilot."
Nguyen Thi Tranh was a nurse on duty at a neighborhood first aid station that day. Its purpose was to treat local residents hurt in the American bombardment, but Tranh remembers the day more than four decades ago when police came in carrying a white-haired American pilot.

The key scenario to prevent is one where he fakes his death and runs away to some DUMB or to Antarctica.
Remember Ken Lay from Enron? That guy faked his death and got away.
a big clue will be whether it is a 'closed casket' funeral
