Many of our readers know, that I spent 21 months “in-country” in the late 1960′s. I have no use for John or Jane to this day. As it is in the world of emails, the following was sent to the Federal Observer some days ago. I suspect that this story has been making the proverbial rounds for some time – but nonetheless, it’s message is one, which needs to be read by every American, who gives a damn. (Ed.)
I got shot down over North Vietnam in 1967, a Squadron Commander.After I returned in 1973…I published 2 books that dealt a lot with “real torture” in Hanoi .
Our make-believe president is branding our country as a bunch of torturers when he has no idea what torture is.
As for me, I was put thru a mock execution because I would not respond…pistol whipped on the head….same event..
Couple of days later…. hung by my feet all day. I escaped and a couple of weeks later, I got shot and recaptured.
Shot was OK…what happened afterward was not.
They marched me to Vinh…put me in the rope trick, trick…almost pulled my arms out of the sockets. Beat me on the head with a little wooden rod until my eyes were swelled shut, and my un-shot, unbroken hand a pulp.
Next day hung me by the arms…re -broke my right wrist…wiped out the nerves in my arms that control the hands….rolled my fingers up into a ball. Only left the slightest movement of my L forefinger.
So I started answering with some incredible lies.
