You are now repeating the Hit pieces G.W.Shrub used on him in 2000. Good or Bad POW? Unless you were a POW I find it very hard for someone to know what he went through. Do you not think that they new he was an Admirals son and what a feather in their cap his being broken would be?

As despicable his actions after the war have been, that kind of questioning is pretty unfair and pretty out of bounds, that he could not with stand his beatings as good as others. If he was a shitty pilot, he paid for it by being a POW.
