“I don’t follow your list of demands question.”

Well, to be perfectly honest, I don’t follow the POW/MIA issue as closely as it should be followed, but i was surmising that maybe POW/MIA action groups might have various ideas on how efforts could be made greater. Sort of like a “POW/MIA bill of rights”, such as 1) Under Secretary position of the VA, 2) Greater exchanges with Vietnam, 3) increasing federal funding for searches, 4)Internet postings of Sites last seen for Google Map searches, 5) $1 million dollar rewards for the return of each POW/MIA (heck, we do this for hunting down Al Queda, I guess we could do it for a missing american); 6) release of all military documentation related to missing servicemen; 7) Development of GPS-related technology for soldiers deployed overseas to track their movements because we did such a poor job in vietnam. We do it for pike passes, can’t we do it for transportation of bodies? 8) Allow more search teams to arrive; 8) Give me some time, I think of some more.

And then, you have a crap load of Senators and Congressmen sign off on it, put their names on an open letter to the President in newspapers demanding that it pass unconditionally. Demands like that.

I pinged you to a number of threads this afternoon that should do fine in answering your questions.
