However it is slander the way you state what he did. You know why he attacked that group? Because they were claiming the US knowingly left living POWs in Vietnam. They called the US military and President traitors for knowingly leaving POWs behind. Didn’t add that, did you? Kind of makes his statement about a SMALL GROUP of POW/MIA families (no, it wasn’t all of them, just a small group) a bit different, doesn’t it?

You’re just a hateful little man, but you go on with your Two Minutes of Hate and shout away at your favorite target. Vent your rage...

Too bad you love Obama and the Leftists who are really destroying this country. No, you only hate John McCain...

If (and that's a big *if*) my statements were in fact untrue, then they would have constituted libel, as libel is written while slander is oral or verbal.

Too bad you apparently don't know the difference.

Really?

U.S. POW/MIAs Who May Have Survived In Captivity

Prepared by the Office of Senator Bob Smith
Vice-Chairman, Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs

December 1, 1992

This listing contains the names of 324 still unaccounted for U.S. personnel from the Vietnam Conflict. Approximately 300 of these personnel were last known alive in captivity in Vietnam and Laos, last known alive, out of their aircraft before it crashed, or their names were passed to POWs who later returned. A handful of the cases involves incidents where the aircraft was later found on the ground with no signs of the crew. This listing is based on all-source U.S. intelligence and casualty reports, information provided by POWs who were returned, lists of POWs and/or last known alive personnel prepared by the Defense Intelligence Agency, and other information made available to the Vice-Chairman, Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs. (The difference between 300 and 324 accounts for known incidents where one or more unidentified crew members were captured from a crew of more than one, or the aircraft was found with no trace of the crew.)

Based on the high number of MIAs at the end of the war who are still unaccounted for (currently 1,170 persons for whom the USG does not know their fate), it is probable that a significant percentage of the MIAs NOT on this 324 list actually survived their incident and could have been captured. Apparently, only the Vietnamese and Laotians would know thei fate, as the U.S. Governemnt does not. Given this reality, the list of 324 names which follows is at best conservative.

Moreover, it should be noted that this number is consistent with the overall numbers represented in the volume of detailed captivity following the war in Vietnam and Laos which have been the focus of investigation by Committee staff.

I found that link on TigersEye's list at post 11.

Do you want to dispute it, and do you want me to start digging through the various databases to which I have access?

Too bad you love Obama and the Leftists who are really destroying this country.

When did I write that?

Or are you now prone to libeling me?

You’re exactly right about that group and I won’t argue with about the rest of your post either.

This post about McCain has reached a new low.

Speaks volumes about the poster.

This article is garbage. So much of the story is left out. A congressional medal of honor winner named Bud Day backs him. I am no McCain fan but please this is tripe.

There were Americans abandoned after the war, and the government went after anyone trying to expose the truth. I’ve met some of the men with personal knowledge about this travesty, they were not lieing and they were not crazy.

Too bad you love Obama and the Leftists who are really destroying this country. No, you only hate John McCain...

You know what that is? Because one is on the other side and we know it, the other is on our side but he is selling us out. Of course you detest a member of your family who betrays you more than the local bookie who runs off with your winnings. Doesn't that make sense to you?

PSS there are very few things in life that I am absolutely sure of, but there are two things that I have no doubt(s) about.

The first is that McCain is and ustable, overbreaing, short temepred a$$hole. I have heard this from many people who have worked closely with him for years.

The second is that there were live POW’s left in VN and McCain is well aware of that and chose instead to work for VN “normalization” rather than press the the POW/MIA case.

I have ABSOLUTELY no doubt about POW’s being left. Why? I was there and I know what I saw and EXACTLY what I was ordered to do about it. After many years I found the person who briefed the Senate committee on POW’s I know what he said and what McCain’s reaction was. Let’s just say Johnny boy wanted nothing to do with it.
