If Coz is referring to the treatment of our POW's in prison camps, he is correct.

The Nazis treated the British and American Pow's much better than the Japanese treated them.

The mortality rate was about 5% for US/Brit POWs held by the Germans in comparison to Japanese prison camps where the rate was between 33-50%, depending on the location.

It's all bad, yes.

It was my honor on Monday to fly the missing man at 4 Veterans ceremonies
in the Los Angeles area. There is a lot of emotion both on the ground and air to be the #3 with smoke on to pull off formation, climb and dissapear
to the west.
Bless those who gave- and most to those that gave all.........
