Profile of retired Col. Carlyle Harris, a former POW in Vietnam who is credited with introducing the tap code, which the prisoners used to communicate. (U.S. Air Force Video // Jimmy D. Shea)
this is really Wonderful, this is something I have been trying to learn for awhile, as well as teaching other kids at my school. I would hate for something Like this to die off. it truly is amazing.
it is EVERYWHERE (i don't know where it first appeared but it seems it is very old, but i have seen it in different places and other people apparently have as well)
2:20 The "Hanoi Hilton" in the 1960s made Gitmo in Cuba today look like a party. The VietCong would tie up a prisoner's arms behind him so tightly the shoulders - not the elbows, the shoulders - would touch. Then they'd hang him from the ceiling and whack at him like a pinata and/or leave him like that for hours or days. When John McCain was running for president he often made the two thumbs up gesture. His arms had been so badly damaged he couldn't raise his hands over his head to wave to people.
There is no comparison between Gitmo and Vietnam. Americans are mostly against torture in gitmo.. THE VIETCONG puppet GOVERNMENT and people WERE 300% BEHIND THE TORTURE. GITMO and Vietnam are like saying apples and steel cubes are quite similar. gtfo
@@xz3693 Why would there be no comparison? People still get tortured in Guantanamo the same as POWs were tortured in Vietnam. It's only evil when the others are doing it eh? GTFO
