Well worth the time and gives you an appreciation for what prisoners like John McCain went through. Coincidentally when we were there in 2013 John McCain just happened to be in Hanoi and was going to be stopping in there only a few hours later. I thought that was kind of cool. We talk about toughness & courage all the time in football. Imagine the toughness & courage it took to survive 5 1/2 years of solitary confinement, captivity. never knowing if you'll ever get out & torture? John McCain was a hero.
kelownabomberfan Posted August 26, 2018 Report Posted August 26, 2018 I wonder if Jane Fonda is invited to the funeral...

I read up on what he went through. Crazy. He ejected from his jet and landed in a lake in the city. He struggled to free himself after both legs and one of his arms was broken. The citizens set upon him and bayoneted him in the groin and beat him. He was tossed in a cell and wasnt given medical treatment for weeks. The reason his arms seemed odd was because of how they healed, he was not able to lift his arms over his head. He was offered a release because his dad was an Admiral but he refused because there were other POW's that had been in captivity longer. He was beaten again, for refusing. Imagine being in that situation and refusing release. I hate to be political but compare that to a clown who gets multiple deferments for bogus bone spurs. JCon and SpeedFlex27 2
