The Peter Boyles Show - May 9, 2026 Hour 2: Hour 2 turns into a long-form conversation between Peter Boyles, retired Major General Tru Eyre, and former Vietnam POW Orson Swindle. Swindle walks through flying combat missions in Vietnam, being shot down near the end of his tour, and spending nearly seven years inside North Vietnamese prison camps, including the Hanoi Hilton. The hour mixes war stories, fighter pilot culture, POW survival tactics, and reflections on the men he served alongside.

Swindle also talks about communicating through tap codes, surviving torture, meeting figures like Henry Kissinger and Ronald Reagan after returning home, and the lasting bond between POWs. Boyles mostly lets the stories breathe, giving the whole hour the feel of sitting at the table listening to veterans swap unforgettable memories.
