Zero. In the 90s Senators John McCain (a former POW) and John Kerry went on a fact finding tour of Vietnam and issued a bipartisan report finding that Vietnam was not holding any POWs. For most of the reality based world, the Vietnam war has been over for over thirty years. There is no reason to hold POWs after a war is over.

None in Vietnam, although they could have been sold to China, North Korea or the former Soviet Union for intellegence gathering. Then the could have been killed in black ops style.
Some American soldiers could be living in Vietnam.
Most lost soldiers were probably blown up and then eatten by the local animals. Some lost soldiers might not be lost at all. Even in modern times, the government keeps poor records.

Zero. There has never been any proof that there are any POW's left behind in Vietnam. This is despite the claims of charlatans who state otherwise but can never provide definitive proof.

It is doubtful that there are any living POWs in Vietnam. If your looking for past POWs, try the links below.
Best of luck.

there are no "estimates or statistics" or we would be laying massive heat on Hanoi. there are several thousand MIAs from that war, and some think there must be POWs still. however, keep in mind that there are still MIAs from our own Civil War..all of which took place inside the USA. people do get lost in wars unfortunately

they did not tell me. of route a good number of what you're saying is crap any way. a million of three females raped contained in the protection force. the position do they get this nonsense ? females by no potential get raped in college although good ? by no potential locate artwork except as a cop ? it really is so stupid its not humorous. in case you enlist contained in the Marines as Infantry you're literally not likely to get the tutorial an Air rigidity Avionics Tech receives. no human being loses limbs in automobile injuries,has nightmares or psychological well-being topics contained in the civilian international good ? some people arrive on the gates of the bottom with topics and proceed to have all of them for the duration of their service (and previous) it really is why there are discharges for unsuitability for service.. in case you do not favor in, stay out. For something else individuals a protection force occupation can be a stepping stone up from a nasty concern to a lifelong ability and advantages.

Haven't you ever noticed???? POWs in Vietnam were Officers,,, they didn't take grunts as prisioners, they just shot them. So it is very unlikelly that there are any.

None. If they had been, the commies would have killed them to avoid losing face if they showed up in the future.
