Torture Could Have Made Ex POW Shoot Mother
Brig Gen John P Flynn said torturers could have forced him to shoot his mother during captivity in North Vietnam. Flynn noted prisoners’ statements under torture or duress should be exempt from retribution. He spoke at a news conference at Neesler Air Force Base after his F105 jet was shot down October 27, 1987. He did not detail his treatment but said the ordeal tested his strength.
