Guy had a gun to his head, he can't be fairly held responsible for what he might say under those circumstances.

Stockholm Syndrome and coerced "testimony" are entirely different things.

Here's a guy who's been held hostage and has more faith in our war effort then some of our spinless politicians

No apology necessary but glad he did anyway.

"Temporary Stockholm Syndrome?"
Temporary Gun Held to Head, Words Spoken Under Threat of Death Syndrome is more like it. I hold nothing against this guy for anything said while someone was pointing a gun at him. He did what any hostage/victim is supposed to do: he survived.

He has nothing to apologize for, but it's a great sign that he apologized anyway. This guy has character.

Okay... How 'bout "Temporary Pseud-Stockholm Syndrome under Duress"?
With a half-gainer...

Hell, the Democrat party does it without any duress at all.

Maybe a "double coercion with a Stockholm Syndrome chaser?"

Indeed. He should be rewarded in some small way. A vacation trip to the States, perhaps? Visit "flyover country," and see some of the most beautiful terrain and best people on the planet?

Absolutely. It would be easy to say what any of us would do in the same situation, but I suspect most of us would say whatever they told us to. I'm glad he's back, glad he's safe, and it's nice that he apologized. Hope he has a nice long and happy life. Maybe he'll write a book. It might be interesting.

Guy had a gun to his head, he can't be fairly held responsible for what he might say under those circumstances. That's what makes me like this guy. He's got integrity and is genuinely thankful. He didn't have to apologize or say anything at all, but he wanted to set the record straight; even about something that no one held him accountable for.

A good story. Expect it to be buried by the MSM.

A good story. Expect it to be buried by the MSM. Especially in the 'Frisco area, which gave saturation coverage to this story while the man was held hostage.

I somehow read this as "most barren terrain"..
