He spent years in a Viet Nam Prison camp as a POW. That is what he did for America and the combat missions he flew. What must have happened to him as a POW makes me wonde if he is all together there.
His capture was the unintended consequence of undeserved privilege.
I am sorry he was a POW but that does not give him special status, as he has not lived his life with honor.....before or after his capture.
