Do I believe there are still Americans alive in captivity in Vietnam, probably not any longer. Do I believe that the U.S. government knowingly left people alive, in captivity in Vietnam, absolutely. Do I believe that this is the biggest shame that a nation can bring upon itself, to knowingly leave live soldiers behind, your damned right I do.

We recently learned that over 5000 GIs freed by the Russians from nazi prison camps were sent to the soviet gulags at the end of WW2. It was first protested, and then hushed up, so as not to "make waves". Their lives weren't important enough, in the grand scheme of things.

So this is nothing new. May all the politicians and bureaucrats who have a hand in these evil dealings, who throw away American lives in secret for "convenience", meet up in a very special part of hell that would make a NVA prison camp look like a Girl Scout picnic.

A plan position indicator scope image of Cape Cod as seen with the exper imental airborne search and bombing radar known as X-band ASV developed at the RadLab. From this 1942 picture, the exact shape of Cape Cod was known for the first time.

 

This 1944 K-band scope image of New York City provided greater detail and sharper resolution than previous radar pictures.
