Seems most of the answers you have gotten are from uneducated people,When the war was over and the US left saigon in 75 there were aprox.3800 missing soldiers still held in pow camps or missing.The north said they had released them all,
but the US had reports of tourists seeing american prisoners for years afterwards but the US government figured we were getting along with vietnam and we shouldnt rock the boat.We still have american GI's in vietnam alive or dead they are still there.And we need to remember we are free because they are not.I guess history finds this truth unimportant and leaves this era out of our history lessons.This is why we motorcyclist and vets of all ages ride to the wall every year,to bring notice to those still missing and unaccounted for.

All POWs were returned at the end of the war.
MIAs were the big question mark. There were many conspiracy theories that a number of MIAs were actually unreported POWs who were still being held. Like all conspiracy theories there was never any proof that this was true. There have been a few investigations in the 80s and 90s that found graves of American soldiers who had died and were buried by locals. That accounts for at least some of the MIAs.

After being examined for any health (physical and emotional) effects and being extensively debriefed about their experiences, the POWs were given the option to separate/retire from the military or return to duty (if they were healthy enough).

some has been rescued some are still being secretly held that the u.s. doesn't know about. the viet cong thinks its funny to keep american's in pow camps like animals.

Whether dead or free, they both end up being the same thing.
