Quote by: barts How do you refuse to leave a POW camp? |
By refusing to go along with the deal that will get you released (it not being a straight offer).
His fellow POW, the highly decorated Philip Butler, has this to say about it
: Quote:

John was offered, and refused, "early release." Many of us were given this offer. It meant speaking out against your country and lying about your treatment to the press. You had to "admit" that the U.S. was criminal and that our treatment was "lenient and humane." So I, like numerous others, refused the offer. This was obviously something none of us could accept. Besides, we were bound by our service regulations, Geneva Conventions and loyalties to refuse early release until all the POW's were released, with the sick and wounded going first.

Butler also finishes his article by announcing that he will certainly not be voting for McCain in November.
