It is not conspiracy theory, not paranoid myth, not Rambo fantasy. It is only hard evidence of a national disgrace: American prisoners were left behind at the end of the Vietnam War. They were abandoned because six presidents and official Washington could not admit their guilty secret.
They were forgotten because the press and most Americans turned away from all things that
reminded them of Vietnam.

"As an American asked to serve, I was prepared to fight,
to be wounded, to be captured and even prepared to die,
but I was not prepared to be abandoned."

I found the book, "The Bamboo Cage", publ. 1991, by Nigel Cawthorne, helpful in learning more about our servicemen who were left behind.
I pray for them all, and their families. Those men were called to protect us, by going overseas. God bless them all.
Thank you for keeping the POW/MIAs in your thoughts and love.

From the POW Network page on Churchill, at the bottom of that page:
ReplyDelete"During the course of the war, the Pathet Lao stated publicly that they held 'tens of tens' of American prisoners, but that they would be released only from Laos. They wished to negotiate the end of the massive bombing of their country before releasing American POWs. The U.S. did not officially recognize the communist government of Laos, and therefore, never negotiated with the Pathet Lao. As a result, not one of the nearly 600 Americans lostin Laos was ever released.
Since the end of the war, nearly 10,000 reports have been received
concerning Americans missing in Southeast Asia, convincing many authorities that hundreds remain alive. Whether Churchill and Conaway are among thosesaid to be still alive is not known. What is certain, however, is that as long as even one American is held against his will, we must do everything possible to bring him home."
hundreds remain alive. Whether Churchill and Conaway are among thosesaid to be still alive is not known.
DeleteThank you but I was referring to Churchill the fake Indian, fake Vietnam veteran and more:

I disagree WE did not forget. We the people did remember but our bureaucrats did not care, they loved money more. My dad would have been shipped to Odessa after May 6, 1945, if he had not ESCAPED from the Russians. War is hell. and the politicians who prosecuted it will rot in hell.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
