Don't forget those who were prisoners of the North Koreans...

like my Uncle Paul, who spent 30 months as a POW. Like allied prisoners of the Japanese in WWII, fully 25% of the American POWs in Korea died in captivity due to starvation, abuse, and disease. The torture they endured was real, both physical and mental. Unlike Gitmo, none of the POWs gained weight, had access to medical care, or had access to religious documents. To the point, there was absolutely no comparison between how they were treated compared to how the detainees at Gitmo, and they had to wait until the war was over to be freed.
