What Really Happened To MIA Soldiers In Vietnam? - Among The Missing - War Documentary

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3UFPROaI9A

Vietnam is often called “the war that won’t go away”, largely because of the continuing controversy of the POW/MIA (Prisoners Of War/ Missing In Action) issue. Families of those who were POW/MIA in Vietnam organized an activist movement which went on to pursue a question which still haunts America nearly decades later: were soldiers left behind in captivity after the Vietnam War? Once the exclusive domain of a select fraternity of soldiers’ wives, the POW/MIA movement has become both a fixture of American life & a distinct subculture within it.

Check the comments below the video!! Here are a few:

“I am a Vietnam Vet, all of 1969 and half of 1970. I was an Air Force weapons mechanic. After the War I joined the Army and flew helicopters and airplanes for 10 years. In 1986 I was hired by American Airlines and retired 2 years after 911. I flew with one POW and also quite a few Air Force, Navy, Marine, and Army Vietnam Veterans. One of my friends, an Air Force pilot told me they flew over several POW camps in Laos and after their missions they would fly a low pass e over the camps they knew about, waggle their wings so the POWs would know we knew they were there. He told me after the war ended our government denied there were these POW camps existed and allowed them to die there, more then likely they were shot by their guards and buried. Thanks to our crooked politicians!”

“Thinking and missing my Vietnam brothers for 56 years come early this June, 2023. Leaving our soldiers behind and not having a true accounting of their whereabouts is one of the hardest and most punishing feelings that are always present; and it never goes away. Much love for America’s soldiers and families! ️ “

“My uncle was captured in 1969. The government had information as to where his remains were without telling the family. It was in 2019 that the reports were de-classified and posted online that we found out where he was buried in Vietnam. How can this happen?”
