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.

Bro. Eastman, I love you but Rico is right on this one.
You have concurrent prepositional phrases. The last two "with him" and "when he was a POW" modify the first one "who stuck it out". "When he was a POW" is serving as an adverb phrase telling
when she stuck it out. If he desired it to be an adverb phrase modifying the verb "cheated",
then his placement would have been incorrect. In that case he should have written "When he was a POW, he cheated on the woman who stuck it out with him".
