So, yes, he did get "hassled for america."
Yes, he's playing up his experience in Vietnam, and he's dropping his POW card anywhere he possibly can, but what he went through should not be open to ridicule. 99% of the population on this planet would have been reduced to gibbering idiots if they went through what he has.
I hope you were drunk when you typed this, because it's a shit post.

you don't have to like his policies or automatically believe his experience as a POW qualifies him for the presidency. but for chrissake don't ever disrespect what POWs go through. you insult him and you insult every single one of them.
it is possible to respect his experience without being obligated to vote for him.
