"Nevermind that he was tortured during the entire time. Nevermind that he has never been able to lift his arms above his head since he returned from Hanoi. " You're making shit up again. How much he was tortured is debatable - but you're FOR torturing "enemy combatants", aren't you? He was severly injured in his crash (which might account for his "disability"), when he was rescued by one of the Vietmanese civilians he'd been bombing. The same old man protected him from the civilians that would have killed him.

I would have ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM with giving a lifetime pension to any soldier who spent 5 years as a POW. He is getting a pension AND disability. This is about the disability. Do you support lifetime welfare for something that doesn't, presumably, exist? Unless you think he is unable to work and make a living. To the untrained eye that doesn't seem to be the case.
