Why do we continue to fly the Vietnam POW/MIA flag when all veterans of that war have been accounted for?

Please correct me if I am wrong, but this statement is blatently untrue.

While Kerry & McCain did indeed state that there was no evidence that there were still POW's in Vietnam - the fact remanins that these people are still missing - fate unknown.

Oh yeah, one more thing: "It's also the flag of today's soldiers, who--like Vietnam veterans--run the risk of being abandoned by their government. President Bush is paying them too little, forcing them to work too long, and lying to them about the reasons for his decisions." Is this guy for real??
Is he REALLY comparing the two? Soldiers who served in Vietnam were comparatively "well paid"? Didn't work as long? Weren't lied to about the reasons for being there??

I'm glad there was an idiot alert to this article. Otherwise I might have assumed that the author was rational.

It's also the flag of today's soldiers, who--like Vietnam veterans--run the risk of being abandoned by their government. President Bush is paying them too little, forcing them to work too long, and lying to them about the reasons for his decisions.

Right. Another "bush evil-- America evil-- we only love our soldiers when they shoot their officers" type...

Nope, no bias here, folks, just keep moving.
