It's the last sentence that got me (my bolding): Says camp survivor Frank Stone, 89 : “I hope that what has been revealed will remind everybody what we went through and how we met the challenges. It was a privilege to be involved.”

We suck compared to those people.

Love that movie.

Playing army as children my pals and I built a 100' secret tunnel under a neighbor's hedge where we could spy on unsuspecting enemies.

Not at all. You simply have not been tested as strenuously as they have.

Most humans are capable of incredible acts and deeds, willing to make unbelievable sacrifices, when faced with others in need.

Imagine the daily heroism at the Mexican border. Many people risk long prison terms to move people and drugs, sometimes using tunnels.

I had an uncle that was involved in this. He was captured, and relocated to another camp after watching many of his friends and fellow prisoners executed. He passed away several years ago.

In our cushy lives, it is so difficult to place ourselves in their shoes and imagine what they went through.

Imagine what it took for an individual to withstand years of American torture in Iraq and Afghanistan. At least it was for a great cause, Bush refurbishing his daddy's reputation for not overthrowing Saddam.
