Yes you did.
When I went through SERE school before going overseas, during the POW stage, we were beaten up, waterboarded, kept in "black boxes" etc etc just to get us to sign a document that said we committed attrocities. They had us in a line, in hoods, shouting out our war criminal number as we signed. (I signed mine Don Duck). Guess they were too busy working over the UDT guys in my class to notice.
I can only imagine the hatred these men have for Kerry.
We have owe them so much. May God bless them and you.
Thank you for your service.
Same here. Except I threatened to beat up one of my "interrogators". (I had already been through everything you listed above, and I thought that was the worst they could throw at me.)
Guess I was wrong. They tied me to a fence, and then beat on my legs with rubber hoses. When I could no longer stand they untied me and rolled me around on the ground by kicking me. It took 2 1/2 months for the bruises on my legs to heal. Although SERE came close to breaking me, I never signed anything or said anything.
I was never a POW, but I think I have a small sense of what they went through. I decided as a result of SERE that I would rather die fighting than become a POW.
I'm glad to see the POS that gave the enemy what they wanted, voluntarily, is finally getting something back.
Since I can't do much about J.F'n.K personally, guess I'll have to give some bucks to the Swifties instead.
