the TV show JAG did an episode about a Marine "deserter" from the Korean war popping up on the radar like this. Turns out he was injured at the Chosun Reservoir (after saving lots of other Marines). When he was eventually told he could leave the hospital a few months later he thought that was his discharge and he just went back to the reservation or barrio (I forget if he was Indian or Mexican American) and never thought about it again.

This could easily be a paperwork screw up from 1966... nah, the US government never makes mistakes...

I remember that episode, it was pretty good.
