Being a prisoner of war in Vietnam had some high points but many more low ones.
The worst days physically were behind us in 1970, 1971, and 1972. After Ho Chi
Minh died in 1969, the routine torturing of POWs for propaganda purposes pretty
much stopped. Our captors panicked in November, 1970, following the daring raid
on a closed POW camp at Son Tai 20 miles west of Hanoi - and moved all of us
into the huge Hoa Lo prison in central Hanoi. We finally were permitted a
semblance of societal life after years in solitary and/or stuffed into tiny
windowless cells with two or three other POWs.

It must be very hard to fly when your right wing is a tissue of lies.

It's even harder to fly with only a Left wing!

Turns around a point are a snap though...

There may be a left wing and a right wing, but most of the people sit in the
middle. When the wings fail to work together, or decide to go off into
unusual attitudes, the people often get hurt.

A good article in The New Yorker several weeks ago makes it clear
where he stands.
