Leroy Percy's Mission in the Korean War

Leroy Percy: A man's job is to make the world a better place to live in, so far as he is able. He says when James Stockdale was shot down and captured by North Vietnam, he didn't dare think of himself. As a commanding officer, he could provide leadership and support for his fellow prisoners, writes Percy. McCain endured indescribable torture at the hands of the Viet Cong but wouldn't undermine the cause despite self-interest, according to Percy.
