At the time, most Americans simply wanted to forget about the war. In protest, he refused to load or fire his weapon, even when sent out on patrol.When his unit was ambushed by the Viet Cong, he began his long ordeal in captivity, first in the jungles of South Vietnam and then in the infamous "Hanoi Hilton." As a POW, he was still an outcast: a black "grunt" and pacifist among mostly white a
