I thought the only pow vet he spoke of was John McCain. Not all pow's. Look Slatten , you know that we Veterans , have been used for political ploy since the beginning of our nation. If not , I can sight line and verse to a point . I've spent some time at it .Reason , my time in and out-and back in-country 66-72. Late 72 . Anyway. He should not have said it , but he did not use the broad brush you speak of and blast all pow's. No excuse for what he did but what you claimed he said is not fact Amigo. He is my senior Senator as well. Respect him greatly but do not like his politics. I know how heart felt this situation is. I know Slatten.

Mongo, MissingLink...I am a proud Viet Nam Vet who remains disgusted with the way Trump denigrated all POWs with his past comments. Those comments, alone, made/make me question Trump's support for our Veterans. I know two POWs from different wars, and each damn well earned and deserve our respect.
I am closely following the story behind this thread. There is much yet to be revealed.
