Slightly unfair, to discredit the suffering of either side, though, right? Regardless of whether your views on the U.S. involved (Stockdale, who this article is about, believes the US gave up its moral high ground amongst the nations of the world by participating, for what it is worth - so he wasn't a fan of being there)
Human, generally, are really great at making people suffer. Was it right to be bombing North Vietnam? Was it right to be torturing people in prison camps?
Overall, I do agree that it would be interesting to learn from an memoirs from North Vietnamese at this time. I have never thought to look for that. So thank you for highlighting.
