Maj. Gen. John Borling, USAF retired, called back from Nashua, NH., where he’s at John McCain’s victory bash. Borling, a POW in N. Vietnam for more than 6 years, shared part of his confinement with Navy pilot McCain in the Hanoi Hilton.

” When he was given up as a grey ghost last year, I thought, ‘never count out the old warrior. Here’s a guy who’s at hist best when his back is against the war. It’s the resilience you get from being a POW for 6 years. He’s very, very consistent,” Borling said.

Borling is a McCain delegate who lives in Rockford.
