Okay monkeyman, give this to your wife if you must, but it is pretty clear that Rico said McCain cheated when he was a POW.

I usually don't jump in on grammar police threads but since this one is agonizing on, I'll go ahead and agree with Tstew and Monkeyman.
It's pretty clear if you read the sentence carefully, that "cheated on" is the verb describing what "he" did to "the woman". Your mistake was in relaying that verb action to "when he was a POW". That's not how the sentece was formed or meant to read. "stuck it out" is the only applying verb to "when he was a POW".
"cheated" had nothing to do with "when he was a POW". A pat on the back and a free "Birthday Song" performance awaits the person who can diagram my sentences and all of my grammatical errors.
