“My clothes were filthy and ragged...With no boots, my socks- which I’d barely been able to salvage- were barely recognizable...Only a few threads around my toes kept them spread over my feet; some protection, at least, as I shivered through the cold nights curled up tightly on my morgue like slab...My conditions and predicament were so foreign to me, so stifling, so overwhelming, I’d never been so hungry, so grimy, and in such pain”
Senator John McCain
