“The men of the USS Pueblo had been taken captive that previous January and were hostages to Cold War politics and diplomacy.”
In propaganda photos, the men of the Pueblo were shown extending their middle fingers. They told their captors that it was the “Hawaiian good luck sign” and the North Koreans believed then until an American magazine broke the story. They were tortured for a week afterwards.
Although they had to pay the price, God bless them for finding a clever yet in-your-face way to show that the pictures were propaganda.
until an American magazine broke the story. They were tortured for a week afterwards...................... “Time”??
