Good thing he is safe and healthy.

 

Wow he is very lucky to be alive.

 

He prolly spent his time smoking cigars and I can guarantee soon he will write a book about how he was tortured and other crap.

But Dam lucky he is alive, and looking great.

 

How old is he, he looks very young?

 

That's a long ass time to be a hostage, i bet it wont take him long before he becomes internet dependent like most people.

 

Must be a great feeling when you finally meet your relatives and family after 12 years...

 

I think it said 19 when captured, so 31 or so depending on the month.

 

Yeah captors and prisoners usually smoke cigars with one another along the pool while they sip margaritas.
I can guarantee you he will not write a book.

 

Why did his father have chains on his hands?

 

''He had been captured as a 19-year-old corporal when Marxist guerrillas attacked his unit, killing 22 of his colleagues and capturing him and 18 others on December 21, 1997.''

 

^is that why his father had chains on his hands?

 

The world has changed so much, I bet everyone is glad he's back.

 

12 years. That's very much. Always good to see a surviving soldier, though. I mean, it's pretty strong that he survived all those years.

 

Nobody knows the condition guys, not any of you have ever been in hostage situations, by the looks of it he's more healthy than some of the sods I see in the street everyday.
