No one who has come upon the corpse of a former captive of the VC or NVA would ever believe the Communist bastards didn’t torture captives.

No one!

It makes me sick to think of the bullshit we’re putting our warriors though and the care we’re giving to “captives” - yet STILL the Left and World are being critical of us!

Where were this bastards in the 60’s and 70’s, when it was OUR guys being tortured?

I read a book by Erich Hartmann, the all time ace of aces. He was captured by the Communists after WWII and was regularly tortured.

A strange thing is he says he was never beaten. They had a law which said they couldn't beat prisoners so they didn't. Of course torturing is even worse.

Now I suspect the Vietnamese had no rules at all except maybe keep them alive as long as it benefited them to do so.

Bump for later.

McCain and I have unresolved problems.


BTW, Rat, enlisted were dead, officers were barter.

Amen brother!

Maybe we could hire the NVA and VC to run Gitmo for us.
