If he'd blinked 'Oil Well', he would've been rescued in 8 days.

For all the people asking how he talked and blinked at the same time, Remember, he was in long periods of solitary confinement so he had plenty of time to practice

[gigasenpai]

Imagine trying to memorize a series of blinks for the sake of your comrades lives and yours. You only get one shot and it's under very dire conditions.

That's textbook definition of a Hero Move

Fact: The Vietnam soldiers asked him a question after the interview was why he had kept blinking. He lied by saying the flashing lights affected his eye.

[marlon]

Imagine his eye was itching at that moment

[xdjupiter]

Also, a little extra, the Vietnamese asked him why he was blinking so weirdly, him said the lights were messing with his eyes

[roy]

imagine if he really needed to blink, and blinked once accidently, and the army was just like 'tortiouse'???

[Rontor]

just the sheer fact that he was imprisoned for 7 more years after that interview makes me really angry. i would have lost all hope that i wouldve been saved

[ovs]

Anyone come to this video after being recommended the original video of him blinking?

[anouar]

When the japanese reporter said "BlaH bLAh"

I felt that.

[prospero]

US Army: *Sees the only sign that their men were being tortured.*
Also them: “Let’s wait 8 more years.”

[Brickbuilder]

Huh, everyone I talk to always just blinks "E", weird.

[justinking]

2:50 “They brought in a reporter who asked them questions”
Reporter: *BLAHBLAHBLAH*

[daniel]

Everyone: Wow that's so cool!

Me: How did he blink and talk at the same time

[antwuntrademark]
