Interesting strategy to say the least🤣 #story #ai #storytime #army #military #war 

I acted like I was autistic after I got captured during the Vietnam War by the Vietnamese.

My name is Douglas Bent, I am an American soldier, and this is my crazy story.

After being captured by the Vietnamese, I played dumb and acted stupid in hopes they would let me go.

Due to my behavior, the Vietnamese gave me the nickname, the stupid.

I would refuse to speak to them and would constantly hum the same song all day long.

I acted this way every single day during my imprisonment.

Eventually, After the enemy was convinced that I had a major cognitive deficiency, I was let go and sent back to the United States.

What my captors didn't know is that the entire time I was a prisoner, I remembered 200 names of the other prisoners of war that were in prison for me.

When I was humming in prison I was actually using the song Old MacDonald Had a Farm to help memorize the names of the other prisoners.

I alerted the United States military of the info and it led them to being able to find many soldiers who were missing.

I became a prominent figure in raising awareness for prisoners of war and the tactics used on them.
