Feb, I agree with you that this was not an 18 year old kid and none of us knows how we will react if we are put the test. It's why we are told to pray that we are not put to the test because none of us knows for sure.

Archie and others want to compare this guy to McCain which in my view is an absolute joke and pathetic. McCain was viciously tortured for months in unspeakable ways before he broke. I looked at the video and this guy didn't look to me like he was mistreated in any obvious way and he has only been captive for what, few days?. Maybe they put a gun to his head and said say this or die and he cracked. Only he and his captors know the truth.

But I think you hit the nail on the head as a former soldier and that is part of what Peter's said, this guy seems to have gone much further than you would expect in his statement given the timing. Why, we don't know. I hope he is released safely under whatever the circumstances are and I am praying for him and his family. I know Archie will heap disdain on my for praying for his safe release but I can live with his scorn.
