Dear Soldiers, It is Christmas and you are far from home, suffering from cold not knowing when you will die. The big shots are home enjoying themselves, eating good food, drinking good liquor, why should you be here risking you life for their profits? The Koreans and Chinese don't want to be your enemies. Our enemies and yours are those who sent you here and destroyed your happiness. Soliders! Let's join hands! You belong back home with those who love you and want you back, safe and sound. So we wish you...

    Yeah, that was the story McCain came up with afterwards.

    Seriously, defending a warmongering neocon ghoul like McCain?

      I'm not defending him, but I don't think there's a reason to doubt the broad strokes of his account. AFAIK the modern Vietnamese Communist Party doesn't deny that torture went on in their POW camps.

        You’re doing the bidding of some of the wealthiest, most elitist, most despicable people on earth.

        Hey, remember when McCain participated in a false flag chemical attack in Syria?

          so what you think McCain was just a secret PAVN sympathizer the whole time? he just made propaganda because he loved the Vietnamese Revolution and it's people, then he comes back to America and did more imperialism? how that make any sense? saying the dude got tortured isn't defending him it's just a fact

            He certainly was no lover of America. Broadcasting enemy propaganda and then coming back and launching his country into war after war, killing millions, ruining its reputation, doesn't sound to me like something an America sympathizer would do.

            There is also evidence he caused the USS Forrestal disaster.
