jlw45: yes, i'm sure alot of men did feel the same....and no the REAL torture had'nt started YET but, he had a broken leg and a broken shoulder and could have gone home.....and he did'nt
He didn't have that either when he had the chance to help the other POW?MIA's come home.
What did he do then, he stormed out of the meeting of the committie, he verbally attacked the sister of another POW in congress.
He literally pushed a woman away so hard, who was begging for his help putside his office, that she slammed into a wall.
Yea that's some kind of hero for you.
