"I think their intention was to kill us, but let nature do it for them. They killed a bunch of us. If you fell, they killed you."
-Senator Jesse Knowles"While I was still transmitting, I landed in a rice paddy in water up to my thighs. A militiaman, who had apparently watched the whole event, was waiting for me with an armed rifle. Thus began my six years of captivity in North Vietnam."
-Vice Adm. William P. Lawrence"I went to Vietnam specifically to care for the guts that I felt, with my knowledge of what was going on, were getting a very raw deal."
