ORIGINAL: Moonhead He has a sore backside, apparently. Supposedly back in '08 Harley Davidson sent him a free bike and he had to send it back because he couldn't sit down on the saddle with the injuries he'd suffered as a POW. (Which puzzled me: I'd have thought they might have stopped subjecting him to enhanced interrogation when he agreed to sign a confession and make propaganda broadcasts. Maybe somebody was bored?) I do believe a good deal of his maladies were more a result of injuries sustained during his ejection.....as one might imagine ejecting from a jet can be,and often is in fact rather dangerous.....and the authorities of North VietNam were not all that interested in seeing that these men got timely and effective medical care(despite the single payer option that was ,at the time, available under the Communist regime). Spinal compression rather than anything beastly the viet cong did then, right. That makes sense.
