Those men went through hell, to put it mildly, and it absolutely disgusts me to see so many Americans and politicians, who couldn't give a rats ass about not only them, but every single man woman and child who made the ultimate sacrifice, give up their rights so easily.
Not to mention the valian, brave Vietnamese soldiers we abandoned to the mercies of the god-cursed commies. And can anyone VER forget those photos of the choppers lifting off with those Vietnamese people, women with babies, teenagers, all standing on the roof with their arms raised, begging them to take them away from there? That image is burned into my mind. And the damnable thing is, we could have WON!!!! If not for the accursed politicians making a political game of it, gambling with the lives of men and women who were too good for the politicians to even lick the dog crap off their boots.
What I hope to gain by reading some of the books mentioned here, is the NAMES of prominent and current politicians who participated in this. My dad was a German POW at the end of WWII. HE was not RELEASED by the Russians when they over-ran the camp near Berlin (IIIA)-- he had been moved there from Oflag 64 in Poland. He and a French officer escaped and made their way to Kruema to hook up with the 104th Inf. there is a chapter in "Forsaken" about just such POWs who were removed to Russia at wars end.
This work is very definitely a great effort by the author, and shows how the American politicians were responsible for leaving our people behind. It's even more outstanding at this time because of all of Obama's latest bull shit about 'leaving no one behind', which we all know is a crock of shit as witnessed by the lack of actions in Benghazi. He and Hillary and others are pathological liars and real scum !!
Going back, here's another book about our people left behind and abandoned in S.E.Asia. 60 Minutes refused to run a segment on it by Monica Jensen-Stevenson when she was one of their producers, so she quit, and wrote this book with her husband.
Kiss the Boys Goodbye is the bestselling exposé of a major political scandal by two award-winning journalists Monica Jensen-Stevenson and William H. Stevenson. The book reveals heartbreaking evidence of American POWs abandoned in Vietnam, of official obstruction and missing files, censored testimony and thinly veiled threats from government sources. Monica had been a producer at CBS’s Sixty Minutes for 5 years.
A couple of politicians that are still around, were also instrumental assholes in trying to eliminate any further efforts to account for and recover POW/MIA's. One of them is the faker John Kerry that has recently demonstrated he in way over his head as Obama's Secretary of State.
The other son-of-a-bitch that has an opinion on damn near everything, is the collaborator John McCain, nicknamed 'Songbird' for all the information he gave the enemy when he was captured. It's interesting that McCain's injuries were sustained when he ejected because he didn't follow correct procedures and tuck his arms into his chest. It's even more interesting that a Russian doctor was flown in to treat him after he told the NVA his daddy was an American Admiral. McCain went so far as to allege that the PW/MIA families were using fraudulent means to raise funds to continue their efforts. Those allegations prompted an IRS investigation into the organization. The investigation determined there was NO FRAUD involved. Personally, I think McCain never wanted any POW/MIA/s to come home because they knew the truth of his collaboration with the enemy in a time of war.
The last comment I'll make regarding McCain is that when the former North Vietnamese General that was said to be 'his worst torturer' came to the U.S. a few years ago, McCain greeted him with open arms and a big hug, like he was a long lost brother. That same General publicly stated that McCain was never tortured while in captivity.
Now, our illustrious fraud of a President claims that we don't leave anyone behind, and that's why he traded 5 Taliban bad guys for a deserter that abandoned his post in a war zone and walked into the waiting arms of the enemy without any fight or resistance 5 years ago. And now, the deserter is back, was promoted, and may even be given a large sum of money tax free. Talk about another real crock of shit being doled out by our government and politicians, and this is it !!
I need to stop here because this all really pisses me off and raises my blood pressure.
This continues a story I first encountered in American Betrayal (Diana West, St. Martin's Press, 2013). Her chapter 11. pp 310-339, recounts how political leadership, including Truman and Eisenhower covered up the thousands of allied soldiers "liberated" by the Russians, but abandoned in the Gulag where they were lost forever.
sdharms, I wonder about your father's story. Perhaps it can add to those related by Diana West and others. I would like a reference to the book you mention, Forsaken, so I can find and read it.

They made such a big deal over Bergdahl and how we don't leave anyone behind. Unless you were fighting in a unpopular war.
They will trade 5 terrorist for a deserter and yet won't demand answers about the men that were captured will doing their duty.

Eventually everyone's great grandson will know what wasn't done and maybe even by who.....
That's why we aren't allowed to know now. 'kin can be funny about such things.'
