Bud Day the movie??

The Truth Product does a very rough overview of John McCain's time in, around, and for the Vietnam conflict. My favorite part is the encounter of Bud Day.

McCain shared a cell with Medal of Honor winner Col. Bud Day, a man who escaped the Viet Cong with a sprang knee, lived in the jungle on berries and uncooked frogs, swam across a river with an arm that was broken in three places and was captured AGAIN by the Viet Cong… where he met none other than John McCain (why is this not a movie?)

Indeed why is it not a movie? It sounds like a very epic story to me, however dark and even sad at times. Very few see the life and experiences of prisoners of war as adventures, let alone really exciting stories. I am among those. With very few exceptions I find the accounts depressing rather than greatly entertaining.

If John McCain was not a Presidential candidate, and at this point a politician among politicians, his young life as a soldier and hero is a good story.

MInd you, Bud Day's is more exciting.
