Interesting. That guy has one hell of a good attitude. If he had it when he did his POW thing, that was a big plus getting him through it. I suspect he is not telling us the bad stuff and does not want to relive it. I watched that film all the way through. Thanks for posting it.

 

Week or two ago, I watched the story of what REALLY happened at the "Hanoi Hilton" during the Vietnam years. The main character being interviewed was James Stockdale. Was not laughs and fun and games. T-O-R-T-U-R-E !!

Today, people say, "Thank you for your service." That phrase was never said by the civilian public in the 1960's or my time in 1974 to 1988. At the airports, the USO canteen were the only people that ever truly appreciated us military people and the flight crews on the planes.

Never realized at the time during Ross Perot's Presidential attempt of his VP choice and the significance of what that meant having Stockdale on his campaign ticket.

 

Not talking politics.

 

Talking integrity.
