No greater hero in my lifetime than Admiral Stockade who during those staged propaganda VC shows in the Hanoi Hilton prison camp blinked out in morse code. He wanted the world to know the truth of what was happening to his men. T - O - R - T - U - R - E - . . . T - O - R - T - U - R - E.
Upon his return to America he was awarded the Medal of Honor.

Stockdale became a symbol of resistance. One of his most famous acts of defiance was cutting his own wrists, showing the enemy that he would rather die than tell them anything. While the enemy revived him, the act was credited with helping end the North Vietnamese use of excessive torture toward POWs.

And shame on anyone who mocked Stockdale for his VP debate performance. Looking back I would have been proud to vote for the Perot/Stockdale Ticket. Wish I had.
