Answer:

During the 2008 presidential campaign, John McCain's military service was generally framed positively, emphasizing his heroism and sacrifice as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. However, Donald Trump, during his 2016 campaign, controversially framed McCain's service differently, stating that he preferred "people who weren't captured", which was seen as a criticism of McCain's time as a prisoner of war.
