Burchett died in 1983 in communist Bulgaria, his home by then. I am told that he remains something of a hero in North Korea. Nothing can efface his intrepidity in Hiroshima in 1945. Still - nobody should want to be like Burchett. 11/x — PolitiTweet.org

And after all, in the era of social media trolling, we've seen abundant examples of people who put their voices at the service of communist and fascist regimes, not because they are paid or compromised, but for ideology, vanity, or malice. Maybe Burchett was one such. 10/x — PolitiTweet.org

So remember Burchett. Remember the US pilots of the Korean War tortured into false confessions by a communist regime. Be warned - and be mindful of the many latter-day Burchetts who copy his deceits, without any of his derring-do. END — PolitiTweet.org
