At least we get free health care .

Frankly, it is a lobbying site, and provides no further references to the alleged "flood of new evidence" (new in 1991).

I'd put it in the "conspiracy theories" drawer:

It is only reasonable to assume that some of the pilots and support crew would inevitably fall into the hands of our enemies. There is evidence that some of these latest “POWs” are being held in the same prison camps as the military POWs. If any of those original captives came home talking about others who had joined them as recently as 1982 or 1983, it would be the end of any number of reputations and political careers. This includes members of both major political parties and all Administrations since 1973.
Fact or fiction? Our government knows the answers – and it isn’t talking!

As recent as 1983???

Material for a Chuck Norris movie.

perhaps the deleted posts could be moved to mkp and my point would be clear.

I agree that there's a difference but I don't believe it's twice as what you say or America would have a free health service . Sorry if I've gone of topic.

Whoevers left there is of their own free will, or long dead. Let 'em Rest in Peace.

No can do cowboy. Whether they're KIA, MIA, POW or deserters, the military will strive to find out their status. Maybe not too tirelessly, and often under difficult/impossible circumstances, but they try nonetheless.

Nobody gets written off.

Just came across this topic, which looks like it self-imploded a long time ago! But I thought this link would be relevant to post on here.

Are there any Vietnam War-era POWs still alive in Laos?
