	Guardian \| Vice Admiral James Stockdale
		Vice Admiral James Stockdale, who has died at the age of 81 after suffering from Alzheimer's disease, was what his beloved Greek philosophers would have called a "great-souled man".
		A navy pilot and a philosopher whose favourite teacher was the Stoic Epictetus, Stockdale proved his physical courage under brutal torture in Hanoi, and his civil courage by running for vice president of the United States in 1992 as the running mate of Ross Perot.
		Stockdale was born in Illinois and studied at Monmouth College there before gaining a place at the Naval Academy at Annapolis.

	Admiral James B. Stockdale Biography -- Academy of Achievement

	Debating Our Destiny: Admiral James Stockdale
		ADMIRAL JAMES STOCKDALE: It was terribly frustrating because I remember I started with, "Who am I? Why am I here?" and I never got back to that because there was never an opportunity for me to explain my life to people.
		ADMIRAL JAMES STOCKDALE: I had thought about it a little bit, and I thought it would come to me in a way that I could explain the idea of building a prison civilization.
		ADMIRAL JAMES STOCKDALE: Well, I believe that, and I hadn't given it much thought, but I've got four daughters-in-law that would be pretty mad at me if I'd said much else....

	Thinking of James Stockdale
		Stockdale himself was a no-nonsense aviator, a graduate of Annapolis, where engineering and technical sciences were then, as now, the principal fare.
		Physically, too, Stockdale and Epictetus both shared the same fate of being crippled in the left leg (Stockdale's as a result of being pummeled by a street gang as his parachute landed in a village in North Vietnam).
		Stockdale was not a preacher, and he never tried to convert anyone to Stoicism, except once, he confided to me, when tapped out in code to a prison mate whose spirits he was trying to raise.

	TCS Daily - A Belated Tribute -- and Apology -- to Admiral James Stockdale
		As a prisoner, Stockdale was subjected to vicious and savage beatings and torture of the most obscene kind.
		So well-versed was Stockdale in the works of the Stoics that he went on to teach Stoic philosophy as a fellow of The Hoover Institution.
		Stockdale's question was mistaken as the puzzled musings of a lost and confused man. In reality, it was an admirable application of Marcus Aurelius's lesson about "first principles." While Dan Quayle and Al Gore were busy explaining what made them good political leaders, Stockdale tried to explain what kind of man he was.

	Pejmanesque: ANOTHER REMEMBRANCE OF JAMES STOCKDALE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Admiral Stockdale's courage, however, was disclosed over and over again, and was sustained for the entire span of the seven and a half years he spent in the infamous prison known as the Hanoi Hilton and other dungeons, where he was held four years in solitary confinement and two with his legs clamped in irons.
		It was Stockdale who invented the code prisoners used to communicate, and he told other prisoners, as Los Angeles Times put it, to defy their captors at every turn and never act like helpless captives.
		The Medal of Honor citation refers to Stockdale's efforts at "self-disfiguration to dissuade his captors from exploiting him for propaganda purposes." In plain English, what he did was use a wooden stool to beat his face to a pulp so he couldn't be used in an enemy film.
