I got shot down over N Vietnam in 1967,
A Sqdn. Commander.
After I returned in 1973...I published 2 books that dealt a lot with "real torture" in Hanoi .
Our make believe president is branding our country as a bunch of torturers when he has no idea what torture is. As for me, put thru a mock execution because I would not respond... Pistol whipped on the head...same event.. Couple of days later... Hung by my feet all day. I escaped and a couple of weeks later, I got shot and recaptured.

Shot was OK...what happened afterwards was not. They marched me to Vinh...put me in the rope trick, trick...almost pulled my arms out of the sockets. Beat me on the head with a little wooden rod Until my eyes were swelled shut,And my unshot, unbroken hand a pulp. The next day hung me by the arms... Rebroke my right wrist... Wiped out the nerves in my arms That control the hands...
Rolled my fingers up into a ball. Only left the slightest movement Of my L forefinger. So I started answering With some incredible lies. Sent me to Hanoi Strapped to a barrel of gas In the back of a truck.

Hanoi..On my knees.... Rope trick again.. Beaten by a big fool. Into leg irons on a bed in Heartbreak Hotel. Much kneeling--hands up at Zoo. Really bad beating For refusing to condemn Lyndon Johnson. Several more kneeling events. I could see my knee bone Thru kneeling holes.

There was an escape from the annex to the Zoo. I was the Senior Officer of a large building because of escape...they started a mass Torture of all commanders.

I think it was July 7, 1969...they started beating me with a car fan
Belt. In first 2 days I took over 300 strokes...then stopped counting
Because I never thought I would live thru it.

They continued day-night torture to get me to confess to a non-existent
Part in the escape. This went on for at least 3 days. On my knees....
Fan belting...cut open my scrotum with fan belt stroke. Opened up
Both knee holes again. My fanny looked like hamburger...I could not
Lie on my back.

They tortured me into admitting That I was in on the escape... And that my 2 room-mates knew about it. The next day I denied the lie. They commenced torturing me again With 3- 6- or 9 strokes of the fan belt Every day from about July 11 or 12th.. To 14 October 1969.

I continued to refuse to lie About my roommates again. Now, the point of this Is that our make-believe president Has declared to the world That we (U.S..) are a bunch of torturers... Thus it will be OK to torture us Next time when they catch us... Because that is what the U.S. Does. Our make-believe president

A know nothing fool Who thinks that pouring a little water On some one's face, Or hanging a pair of women's pants Over an Arabs head is TORTURE. He is a meathead. I just talked to MOH holder Leo Thorsness, Who was also in my squadron, in jail... as was John McCain... And we agree that McCain does not speak For the POW group when he claims That Al Gharib was torture... or that "water boarding" is torture.

Our president and those fools around him who keep bad mouthing our great country are a disgrace to the United States . Please pass this info on to Sean Hannity. He is free to use it to point out the stupidity of the claimsthat water boarding...which has no after effect... is torture.

If it got the Arab to cough up the story about how he planned the attack on the twin towers in NYC... hurrahfor the guy who poured the water.

Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.
'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language.. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.'
Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Tecumseh Poem


“So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.

Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none.

When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.

When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.”

~ Chief Tecumseh
