It possibly could, if the attempt was your only defense against being used as a propaganda tool. However, that's not what got him our nation's highest military award for valor--one that's frequently awarded posthumously.
P.S. It would appear that you do not know any former POWs, and that you have not read anything about ADM Stockdale's time in captivity.
I can't imagine you insulting Medal of Honor recipients, other POWs, and his memory if you had.
