Some 600 US POW/MIAs were left in behind after Vietnam according to this book. This is the biggest news worthy story I have seen this week and no one knows about it.

No matter what side of the political spectrum, this is wrong. If it is true, would you change your midn about the above mentioned?

My questions aren't vauge, I am just not a HS teacher walking everyone through it. Follow the link, type it in Answers.com, read the book, whatever... or don't answer if you don't know.

Dowahdiddy, I do know the "Cong" wouldn't cooperate. One doesn't have to have served in order to know that.
If you read this book, or do more research, and if this book is true, than it is saying that it was more than just the VC who were not cooperating.

no....because my opinion of all of those you mentioned is low to begin with......I would not trust one of them to do what was right.....

In the early 1990s, a bipartisan group led by former POW John McCain and decorated Vietnam Veteran John Kerry went on a fact finding tour of Vietnam and concluded that there are no remaining POWs. Why would North Vietnam continue to hold prisoners, this long after the war?

It's an old story. Anyone that was here for Vietnam knows the story. It was the fodder for movies and stories and lots of grief. There are organizations still involved in looking for MIAs and POWs from Vietnam. Do you really think everyone is accounted for in Iraq?

I don't know how these people relate directly to this issue.
I get so mad when people are talking about the hostages in Iran, its never been US policy to get our citizens back. if you comitt a crime in another country you are screwed.
I know of a solider who had a psychotic episode in Japan during the '70s and is still in prison there. here he would have been in a mental instituion and released by now (people in high security mental institutions typically don't get a chance to leave for about 10 years but are out before 30).
I don't think its right to leave our people in other countires simply for being soldiers (committing a crime while being a solider is a different story and has to be examined on a case by case basis). maybe we need to change our policies or be willing to make deals to get POWs back home.

No. My own brother-in-law has been back to Vietnam on missions where they travel to all places in which we've lost American soldiers. They collect DNA and verify deaths so that the families can finally have closure.
We've been doing this for years, including North Korea.
This would not change my mind.

Why would this change my mind about these men? Our nation as a whole opted to abandon Vietnam and 2 to 3 million Cambodians. I hold our whole nation responsible.
I doubt POW's were deliberately left behind. I do know we have many missing that have never been found, and that no administration Democratic or Republican has done much about it.

Sorry that your hatred for those adult adult males is so large which you do no longer tutor the place you get your"info" of your assertion. people who served with Senator McCain have reported back and back that he grow to be tortured and so a approaches as what I even have study in print the two President Bush and vice chairman Chenny have reported that he grow to be.

NOPE!
Wouldn't change my mind a bit. Every military person knows that there were American soldiers left behind cause we couldn't find them and the Cong weren't cooperation with our government.
If you had been in the military, you'd have known that already.

1) None of those tou mentioned were President at the time.
2) We will never know if this was true.
3) Chances are that NO American had the facts at that time.

No.
And, it's old news. I believe Ross Perot was pushing this stuff.
