Give me a break. Can't you make up a better story than that. Don't tell me they made nice nice to an American pilot. Just shut up about it and stop trying to slander an American hero. Enough is enough. You don't even know who these people are. I'll bet they're all dead now and, whoever you are, are making up this story. I've been there. I was in Vietnam. My father and grandfather were not admirals but i know about torture. So keep your opinions to yourself 'clowns' and stop crying.

They should strech his neck with a rope....not to make him any taller, but to see if he dies like a man or if he cries like a baby. I bet he'll cry like a baby. Tourture is tourture!
