They would hang him upside down by his ankles, with a nest of biting ants over his face, until he lost consciousness. At night, they suspended him in a freezing well so that if sleep came, he feared he would drown.
Well, at least they didn't make him wear panties on his head.

Dengler wrote about his experience in his book “Escape From Laos.” Recommended!

A brave and tenacious hero.
RE: the movie about his life — now THAT is the kind of story I’ll pay to see. None of that “Redacted” crap for me, thank you!

Saw the movie. It wasn’t as gruesome as his real life and well worth watching. The movie was shot is little or no computer graphics. Even the scene s of him moving through the jungle was filmed with a crew crawling through the jungle with him. It was a dramatic story told with extreme realism in at least the cinematography.

I think the words you are searching for is VALOR, HERO, AMERICAN, PATROIT and one hell of a man.
