Reply #14: I like McCain's tale of the cross in the sand.

Particularly when the Hanoi Hilton had cement floors in the cells.


It was in a cell just like this that American Senator John McCain was held as a POW. I thought of him as we entered this dirty, dismal space.


American POWs would have exercised outside in this courtyard during the Vietnam War.


Here Nu and I are demonstrating the toilets used in the prison. The hole in the floor is barely visible just below us. This is actually a standard toileting set-up in Vietnam and wouldn't be considered unusual.
