I have to say that this post being allowed to stay up makes me think twice about DU in general.
Is this really the road we want to go down, to question whether or not all the freed POWs were liars and frauds on the word of one NVA guard? To insinuate that maybe the guard is telling the truth.
This is obviously someone attempting to make DU look like anti-soldier (different then anti-war) assholes.
There is plenty to go after McCain about. But to incite rumors based on the word of someone who claims to be his former captor, especially with the permanent injuries he sustained and the length of time he was held, is really almost unforgivable.
It is a slap in the face to every soldier who survived those camps and a real disrespect to the ones who never came home at all.

Sorry Mr. Duyet, our pilots were most certainly tortured in the Hanoi Hilton. |

I'm figuring Duyet is using the new and improved definition of torture |
