He doesn't mention his rank, didn't you have to be an officer to be a Marine Corps chopper pilot? He also doesn't mention the type of helicopter he flew. Lifting 13 guys plus the crew with a Huey might just be possible but is highly unlikely (read virtually impossible), and anyone who would hover while shooting in Chinook has a death wish. No unit mentioned. And the old Chinese water torture! Beating you with a fan belt was more the NVA style. This one needs to go to one of those stolen valor groups for verification.
"This one needs...verification."
Sadly, I have to agree...I'll e-mail the reporter.
Not only is Lee not in the POW list, but there's no McCoy matching those details listed on The Wall.
Also, a search on his name/location turns up a match listing his age at 58, too young for all this.
Will post anything further.
no bill mccoy on the virtual wall either....
