“I don’t buy it.”
I do...
I do too. Expecially since 20 years earlier, the Vietnamese did the exact same thing with French soldiers and returned them after the ransom was paid.
I don’t believe many conspiracy theories, think there is a flying saucer in area 51,,etc,, BUT i solidly believe our government knew to a certainty they left about 600 behind.
Kill 600 and be done with the while mess? They would do it in a minute.
After a few years, the Vietnamese realized that vietnam was over for us, and that they would never get any money. This made them realize the POWs were then only a liability. They are almost sure to all be dead now, probably executed in a single afternoon.
It can’t be fixed now, but i want a leader to say it happened and let the chips fall where they may politically. It won’t happen though, because people eyeballs deep in it are still around. Our government became illegitimate when it committed this crime.
And McCain is a cowardly tool, being exploited. How does what happened to him make him an expert? It’s nuts that his opinion matters. Do you ask a guy from Stalag 17 what happened to the prisoners held in Cabanatuan? Mccain has no freaking idea what happened to men in Laos. He is used by our government for cover, and used by the vietnamese to achieve normalization.
And last,, the current trend with our captured soldiers is to get on TV,,, fast! Say *anything you need to* to make that happen. Getting your face out there assures that your government can’t betray you the way it did the men in Vietnam.
