Leftists are longing for a “Swift Boat” moment.... it’s perfectly plausible that such “cross” events have occurred a number of times in Gulag and prison camp situations — one would think that Christians in such circumstances would all think about when and if they should share such a moment with another Christian.

I have no idea how often it does occur, but drawing a cross in dirt or sand when that is the only possible communication available to two Christians under such extreme circumstances, well, it’s quite possible that there are such occurences on many occasions across the various Gulag and other prison camps run by vicious commie pigs.

Also in McCain’s favor is that the Solzhenitsyn story involved a fellow prisoner and the McCain story involved a guard, so the 2nd story is not any obvious copy. Could it have been “inspired” by the Solzehnitsyn story? Certainly conceivable, but without any actual evidence there is no reason to assume that McCain’s story did not occur as described. He certainly deserves the benefit of any doubt.
