I think that the men who were held in the "Hanoi Hilton" for upwards of 5 years should get this extra compensation. One of them was given the Medal of Honor for his conduct during those trying times. If you don't remember him, he was the VP candidate who was trashed by Gimpy and his ilk. Adm. Stockdale. The rest of the "Phonies" can ho to heck as far as I am concerned. The few from Desert Storm were not held long enough to miss the latest movies.
