#1 If only John McCain had a Twitter account in Hanoi:

"TO THE VIETNAMESE PEOPLE AND THE GOVERNMENT OF THE DRVN. I'M JOHN SYDNEY McCAIN, 624787, LIEUTENANT COMMANDER, U.S. NAVY. I WAS BORN ON 25 AUGUST 1936 PANAMA. MY HOME STATE IS OREGON. I WAS SHOT DOWN 26 OCTOBER 1967 A4 AIRCRAFT.

"I, AS A U.S. AIRMAN, AM GUILTY OF CRIMES AGAINST THE VIETNAMESE COUNTRY AND PEOPLE. I HAVE BOMBED THEIR CITIES, TOWNS AND VILLAGES AND CAUSED MANY INJURIES, EVEN DEATH TO THE PEOPLE OF VIETNAM.

"I WAS CAPTURED IN THE CAPITOL OF HANOI WHILE ATTACKING IT. AFTER I WAS CAPTURED, I WAS TAKEN TO A HOSPITAL IN HANOI WHERE I RECEIVED VERY GOOD TREATMENT."

"I WAS GIVEN AN OPERATION ON MY LEG WHICH ALLOWED ME TO WALK AGAIN. A CAST WAS PUT ON MY RIGHT ARM, WHICH WAS BROKEN IN THREE PLACES. THE DOCTORS WERE VERY GOOD AND THEY KNEW A GREAT DEAL ABOUT THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE.

"I REMAINED IN THE HOSPITAL FOR SOME TIME AND REGAINED MUCH OF MY HEALTH AND STRENGTH."

"SINCE I ARRIVED IN THE CAMP OF DETENTION, I HAVE RECEIVED HUMANE TREATMENT AND FOOD, EVEN THOUGH I CAME HERE AS AN AGGRESSOR AND THE PEOPLE WHO I INJURED HAVE MUCH DIFFICULTY IN THEIR LIVING STANDARDS. I WISH TO EXPRESS MY DEEP GRATITUDE FOR MY KIND TREATMENT AND I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS KINDNESS EXTENDED TO ME."
