Do you think that there still are american POWS in Nam ?
In some way I think there still are some POWS in Vietnam/ Laos, maybee the US goverment knows it but can't do nothing about it, so they keep it under the carpet.
shareNo, there are no POW's left. Seeing how the war ended in 1975 that would mean that their captors would have kept them for 36 years after the end of the war. Nobody is going to do that. It's a pain in the ass to keep a secret prison hidden in the jungle for that long. I'm sure there were many prisoners at the end of the war. By now they've all been let go, killed or died from their conditions.
Well I hope that is right, but there are still some that don't know for sure the fate of their son, M.I.A/P.O.W. From what I have read, there are some people that still look for their loved ones and the issue is being debated from time to time in the media.
shareIt's widely believed that there were US POWs still being held in Vietnam, Laos, etc as late as the early 1980s. There have been rumors that the CIA actually located one of the camps and was preparing to go in with Delta when some idiot news camera happy ex Special Forces commander named Bo Gritz brought too much media attention.
Read about it in Eric Haney's book Inside Delta Force. They were alerted for at least 2 missions in the early/mid 1980s before they were canceled at the last minute. It's available on Amazon and I am sure you can find it at Barnes & Noble, Borders, etc.
