An Open Letter to John McCain

Dear Mr. McCain,

Repeatedly, we hear your pundits tossing out your grand adventures in the infamous "Hanoi Hilton". We have heard many times your," support for the troops". Time, and yet time again we are appraised of your wondrous patriotism. Tell me sir, did you think we would never find out? Did you think we were that stupid or that lazy?

YOU, sir are not WORTHY of the respect being doled out on your lying, traitorous ass! Did you think, sir that we would not research? Did you think sir that we would not do due diligence in the search for the truth? Did you, sir think that we would be somehow intimidated by your yapping dog reactionary tactics, and your unending endeavors to go to any lengths to stand between the people, and the truth? HOW FUCKING DARE YOU, SIR!

How DARE you backhand Geannette Jenkins against the wall of the very hall of The Senate on June of 1996! HOW FUCKING DARE YOU! How dare you lay hands on a woman in the hall way of the Senate building, you insufferable, fucking coward! And THEN, sir, as if to prove there was no slowing your headlong rush to the despicable, you confront Mrs. Jeane Duke Gaylord, mother of Charles Duke Jr. A lady in her mid eighties! A lady confined to a wheelchair, and requiring bottled oxygen! A lady who only reached out to you, begging to be heard! AND TO HER, SIR, YOU RAISED YOUR HAND? READY TO STRIKE? HOW FUCKING DARE YOU, SIR!!!!!!

HOW DARE YOU RAISE YOUR HAND AGAINST AN ELDERLY LADY IN A WHEELCHAIR!!!! A LADY WHOSE SON WAS ACTUALLY A CIVILIAN CONTRACTOR WHEN CAPTURED IN NORTH VIETNAM!! THE VERY EPITOME OF A VOLUNTEER IN HOSTILE ENEMY TERRITORY!! YOU INSUFFERABLE PRICK!!!!! HOW DARE YOU TURN TO AN ELDERLY LADY IN HER LAST GRASP OF LIFE WITH VIOLENCE AGAINST HER IN YOUR HEART AND MIND!!!

A MOTHER WHO HAS ANSWERED HER COUNTRY'S CALL!! A MOTHER WHO GAVE TO HER COUNTRY THE DEAREST GIFT A MOTHER CAN GIVE!!! THE VERY LIFE OF HER SON!! A MOTHER WHO WANTS ONLY TO HAVE HER QUESTIONS AS TO HER LATE SON'S LAST MOMENTS ON THIS EARTH, IN THE TRULY HEROIC SERVICE TO THIS COUNTRY ANSWERED!!

YOU, SIR WOULD RAISE YOUR HAND TO STRIKE THIS LADY? YOU, SIR, WOULD DISHONOR YOUR SELF, YOUR OFFICE, AND YOUR COUNTRY, BY THIS COWARDLY ACT? YOU, SIR WOULD TREACHEROUSLY RAISE YOUR HAND TO STRIKE AT THE VERY HEART AND SOUL OF ALL THAT IS GREAT AND GOOD IN THIS COUNTRY? GOD HELP YOU, SIR!!!!!

What reason can you possibly give for your continuous, and unfathomable opposition of The 1992 Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs? Why in the Name of God would you struggle so hard to keep hidden, facts concerning the status of your fellow POW/MIAs? Why, sir? Why would you stand in the way of the healing of the ragged, festering wounds of Vietnam, that STILL plague this country? Why would you throw up every wall in your power to erect between the truth and those families of POW/MIAs that have every right to know it? Why, sir? What is this horrible truth that must never be known?

Could it be that you were indeed never held at "The Hilton"? Could it be that you were indeed transferred to the Gai Lam Military Hospital as soon as the North Vietnamese learned your name? As it is stated in the numerous US Government documents? Could it be that at the time you declared that you were being tortured, and beaten at the infamous Hao Lo (Hanoi Hilton) POW Camp, you were indeed being held at the camp known as "The Plantation"? Perhaps, Phung Van Chung, the Communist Party Chief at the time was speaking the truth when he said you were given "soft treatment", because of your value as a bargaining chip? Perhaps your fellow POWs were telling the truth when they say, you were not EVER tortured, and they were there with you! Could it be, sir that you are ashamed of some part of your military service? Could THAT be the reason you fought so hard to keep it all a secret? The reason that you struggled so hard to prevent ANY of your service record from being declassified?

Do you think that you can keep it hidden forever, sir? And just exactly are you hiding? We the People have a right to know, and, Sir, we will KNOW!

We as a people forgive much, sir! We as a people understand the terror of a POW in a foreign land! But we as a people have grow weary of lies from our President, and more of the same, will earn you no allies, and you will find your supporters fleeing you like rats from a sinking ship! I call on you, sir to do the right thing! Withdraw your blockage to the declassification of ALL information concerning POWs, and MIAs for Vietnam, and Korea! Do this, sir, and you will get a small bit of the respect I once held for you back!

Otherwise, you, sir, are not worthy of my respect! I will fight against you with every fiber of my being! Those POWs and MIAs are my brothers in arms! Whether you accept them as yours, or not!
