 MT> Get well soon,

You idiot, I didn't get any of this infromation off the internet. I was alive
during that time. I remember seeing pictures of her "riding" an AAA gun like it
was a phalic symbol. I remember reading later after the POWs returned (long
before the internet) how she had betrayed them while they were in prison.

These people in this article you posted may well be wrongly attributed in some
internet stroy, but I am not going by anything from the internet. For your
information, the "story" is decades older than the internet.

Now, go back and play with the rest of the children in your sandbox.
