......about 1700 American servicemen deserted "in country" in Vietnam....some were involved in criminal activities and stayed behind of their own choosing at war's end (think: Christopher Walken in 'Deerhunter').....others made their way home thru Asia and Europe.....others were believed to have been executed by the NVA upon detection after the fall of Saigon.....these American deserters are believed by some to be the basis of some of the "sightings" that came to the attention of the POW/MIA community desperate for hope in the 70's and 80s.....it's a little known and very sad chapter of the war.....
