Vietnam POW:
American Ex-Prisoners of War ^ | 3/09/07 | Richard A. Stratton

Posted on 03/09/2007 6:39:40 AM PST by AirBorn

"...I was now a tortured, beaten, starving hulk designated as the “Blackest of Criminals” in the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and an official “Yankee Air Pirate” (eligible to be hung from the yardarm, having been caught in the act of piracy). I was alone, separated from all my shipmates.

I did not know whom to trust, what the rules of my new mess happened to be, or what was expected of me in this new and strange form of warfare I was about to embark upon. The walls had more banging and knocking than the whole hull of the venerable 27C that had been my previous home. There was a rhythm and a pattern to the noise that had all the class of a wall full of woodpeckers.

I remembered enough Morse code to recognize that what I was hearing was not Morse code;

“If you read me, cough once for yes; twice for no.” Cough. “Are you Air Force?” Cough. Cough. “Are you Navy?” Cough. “Are you an O-5?” Cough. Cough. “Are you an O-4?” Cough..."

FONDA Has been- and STILL is " at it " Today- At it again.

WHY? is she still allowed to be around?

The rules of the new ball game were quite simple:

---- To lead was to be tortured.

----To communicate with a fellow prisoner was a de facto sign of leadership resulting in torture.

----To fail to bow was to be beaten and tortured.

----To fail to do exactly what you were told and when you were told was to be tortured.

----Medical attention was reserved to those who might have some propaganda value and then only in respect to the parts of you that showed.

----Food and water were rationed out only to the extent to keep you alive,...... but in a weakened condition. Lenient and humane treatment were defined as permitting you to live.

---- You were being held as a hostage and as a propaganda tool; otherwise you had no value.

---You were a slave to communist ideology.

Make COPIES of this letter- Hand them out where ever- and how many times as you can.

Do YOU think that: Those teen age "Protesters": That Fonda and the Liberals Talk Into MARCHING For them KNOW of the PAST?? Of the ACTIONS of " OTHER " Nations towards OUR PRISONERS duing War Times?

DO YOU think these Teenage "Protesters" would "Change" and LEAVE The Liberals IF they DID KNOW about America's REAL PAST?-I Think they would.

Darth AirBorne

P.S.- Why are ANY of the liberals still allowed to be around today?

Not really clear what this article has to do with Fonda. She isn't mentioned at all.

The article is about what a hero McCain was for not accepting an early out. He once was a hero in my eyes also. He's NOT one any longer.
