Bogie, I don’t know what the rules are regarding these types of broadcasts or complicity with them.
I know that it is disturbing. I still don’t know what John faced with regard to “not participating”.
Was he threatened? Were his fellow camp mates threatened?
I don’t know those things. I know he is called song-bird. This is probably why.
I have tried not to criticize his POW actions. I have a lot of respect for our troops and POWs in general. It goes against my beliefs to trash one of them, knowing they lived in very trying times.
I was fortunate not to have served in Vietnam. I have therefore tried to be as supportive of our troops as I could be. John is graced in under that.
If his fellow POWs wish to take him to task, that is their prerogative. I am not qualified to do so.
I know what he was like prior to his military service. I know what he was like during training. At that point, my criticism ends until after the war.
His next deeds I can address was his actions associated with his divorce until the present.
He’s been a disgusting person his whole life other than his military service. I’ll leave it to others if they think he operated with character during those years, or was simply the same man he always was outside the POW years.
I know what my thoughts are on that, but I don’t go there much.
Thank you for the link. That audio is out there. It stands on it’s own.
