How I Was Cut Off From the Outside World

I never knew my son was born. Never knew anything until very shortly before his fifth birthday. They thought I'd been captured because when they found the body of the co-pilot, they said he had been professionally splendid and assumed I had done it. My wife at the time tried to send me medical equipment through the Cambodian Embassy so that I could take care of other people. The US army sent me hundreds of pairs of glasses through neutral embassies, none of which I ever received. So I don't think the army is this cold a place as some people would think.
