That's wired!Not for China. Vietnam will remember him as a friend. As a great man. Despite being a enemy soldier with his jet flying bombing raids over Hanoi, spending years as POW in prison,he was one that brought US to normalize the relationship with Vietnam in 1995.without McCain that had not happen or not too early. He also was the one that helped lifting the US arms embargo on Vietnam.
Vietnamese pay tribute to John McCain at the US embassy in Hanoi.

His F4 jet was shoot down in Hanoi, he was rescuited by Vietnamese in 1966.
Do u know who help VN to keep selling products to US market?But he still hated (North) Vietnamese till the moment he kicked the dust.
Pls don't lie, For his part, McCain brushed aside criticism of Clinton's move in some conservative circles, declaring the time had come for America to normalize relations with its former enemy.But he still hated (North) Vietnamese till the moment he kicked the dust.

He uttered the hate words as late as 2010, I believe. So, hate remained. But, he probably wanted to see a regime change in Vietnam.
Anyways, as he stated, he would hate Vietnamese as long as he lives.
Now that he is in history's dustbin, the hate must be gone by now.
no need chinese tell us about that who hate us in the past or for the nowaday, we do known well about that. Don't make idiot communism propaganda here...Who is a enemy of Vietnam now ? check again what happent in time of 1972, 1974, 1979. 1988 on lands and sea of Vietnam ...
Even McCain's hatred for Russia is strongly tied to his experience in Vietnam.
Read up. Quite telling.

Was Vietnam the Source of John McCain's Pathological Hatred for Russia?
He was shot down over Hanoi by Russian SAMs manned by Russian-trained crews assisted by Russian advisers

There is no doubt that John McCain despised Russia and, in particular, Vladimir Putin, a man who he felt was a representative of the old Soviet Union. Here are a few examples:
Let's put some of the comments from the Vietnamese gentlemen into context. This map shows every bombing mission carried out by the United States during the Vietnam War between 1965 and 1973 (no data is available for 1974 since geographic co-ordinates are not available) with every point representing a single bombing mission:
Here is a bar graph showing the number of monthly bombing and ground attack missions during the Vietnam War:
Here are the number of bombing and ground attack missions that took place, sorted using the type of aircraft involved:
In terms of tonnage, the United States dropped more bombs on Vietnam than the entire allied forces dropped on Germany during the Second World War as shown in this quote from "The Long Run Impact of Bombing Vietnam" by Edward Miguel and Gerard Roland:
"Vietnam War bombing thus represented at least three times as much (by weight) as both European and Pacific theater World War II bombing combined, and about fifteen times total tonnage in the Korean War.
Given the prewar Vietnamese population of approximately 32 million, U.S. bombing translates into hundreds of kilograms of explosives per capita during the conflict. For another comparison, the atomic bombs dropped at Hiroshima and Nagasaki had the power of roughly 15,000 and 20,000 tons of TNT, respectively (Grolier 1995). Since general purpose bombs – by far the most common type of bomb used in Vietnam and in our dataset – are approximately 50% explosive material by weight, each atomic bomb translates into roughly 30,000 to 40,000 tons of such munitions.
Measured this way, U.S. bombing in Indochina represents 100 times the combined impact of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombs."
This led to the destruction of more than 400 bridges and 50,000 miles of roads. As an aside, a study by Legacies of War states that the neighbouring nation of Laos, a nation the size of Utah, was the recipient of 260 million cluster bombs from 580,000 bombing missions. With up to 30 percent of these munitions failing to detonate, there are close to 78 million bomblets that are still taking their toll on Laotians with more than 34,000 people being killed or injured since bombing ceased in 1973.
Perhaps now we can understand why the North Vietnamese were forced to rely on Russian equipment and Russian training to protect their nation from the United States and their massive bombing campaign. We can also better understand their excitement at having John McCain, a pilot with a relatively high military profile, as a prisoner of war.
At the same time, we do have a better understanding of why John McCain had, to his death, such a rabid hatred for the Soviet Union/Russia and its political leadership as the U.S.S.R. was more or less directly responsible for his capture and incarceration. Unfortunately, his rhetoric was drawing the United States further and further into another Cold War.

It's fabricating by the article.
By John McCain himself, he said: Putin is not our friend nor merely a competitor. Putin is our enemy—not b/c we wish it so, but b/c he has chosen to be. He chose to invade Ukraine & annex Crimea. He chose to help Assad slaughter Syrians. He chose to attack our election & undermine democracies around the world.
There is no word related to Vietnam war.
