It's just too damn bad that the American presidency has yet to be filled by a Viet Nam war combat veteran.

What did John Kerry know about this and when did he know it? ;)
what a complete A ...hole Kerry is! this just makes me mad at him all over again. I will not read this book....don’t know if I could handle it.
Don't forget to include McLame. He was a participant in this one too.
If any but turn coats would run they just might get elected.
How John Kerry could show his face after his clandestine meetings with the Viet Cong and his disgraceful tarring of his fellow Marines I do not know and then we are suppose to let him run on his military service. Hell no, I’d have voted for someone who ran away to Canada before letting that trash in the White House. There is one thing in being a coward but an entirely another to be a traitor and that man was and is a traitor.
The left in this country and the Democrat congress who defunded Vietnam and led to the collapse of South Vietnam should not be able to say “Vietnam” without hanging their heads in shame for the millions of our so called friends who died because they left them to the Communist onslaught. It has been estimated that nearly 75 million people died throughout Asia because of our running away and allowing the whole region to fall to the Communists. Someday I hope they burn in hell for what they did and what they are doing even now.

Our first 2 North Vietnamese Communist Army Regular POW’s we captured inside a then Free South Vietnam at the 1st Major Battle of the Vietnam War in November 1965:

NVA Soldiers that Communist North Vietnam’s Hanoi Radio kept telling the whole world were NEVER there all during the Vietnam War.

How legit is this? Does anyone another source to corroborate this book? I am hesitant to believe, someone convince me.
Never realized that.
“What did John Kerry know about this and when did he know it? ;)”
You may find your comment funny. But I don’t
Kerry should have been court marshalled for treason.
And for you to even mention that POS in a thread regarding American POW’s & MIA’s is outrageous.

“NVA Soldiers that Communist North Vietnam’s Hanoi Radio kept telling the whole world were NEVER there all during the Vietnam War.”
Well I know better because I was there and personally saw their dead bodies.

This can’t be true...McCain & Kerry said so....
Somehow the only presidents who get blamed for this are Nixon and Bush.
Weren’t there a few other presidents in between? And could Nixon do anything when they railroaded him out of office with a Watergate scandal that was 99% faked up?
I would place the heaviest blame on the guys who were put in charge of investigating the POW/MIA problem and covered it up instead:
“Tragically, the truth did not come out, thanks, the authors charge, to two of the Committee’s most powerful members, Chairman John Kerry and ex-POW Sen. John McCain. Both, the authors explain, were intent on “ending the war” and normalizing relations with Vietnam. They chose to perpetuate the cover-up rather than expose it.”
John Kerry is John Kerry, and this is pretty much what you could expect of him. But the way John McCain betrayed his fellow POWs has always struck me as the ultimate treason.
Didn’t that arsehole Kerry assure us that none were left so his cousin could rake in big bucks over there?
Ah, Kelly, John Kerry is very relevant to this thread. From the article —
Tragically, the truth did not come out, thanks, the authors charge, to two of the Committee’s most powerful members, Chairman John Kerry and ex-POW Sen. John McCain. Both, the authors explain, were intent on “ending the war” and normalizing relations with Vietnam. They chose to perpetuate the cover-up rather than expose it.
I live in Cambodia and dabble in research on this issue in my free time. There are many accounts that provide detail on the POW/MIA issue and those that were left behind. A good start is:

There is plenty of blame to go around.
Bottom line, as I previously stated, the Viet Nam war American POW’s & MIA’s should have been fully accounted for after 30 friggin years! And to this date, THEY HAVE NOT!

Should be "escape and evasion".
