Vietnam is often called the war that won't go away, largely because of the continuing controversy of the POW/MIA (Prisoners Of War / Missing In Action) issue. Families of those who were POW/MIA in Vietnam organized an activist movement which went on to pursue a question which still haunts America nearly decades later: were soldiers left behind in captivity after the Vietnam War?

FIRST HEROES by Rod Colvin's book lists approximately 2, 500 MIA; s There are about 46 civilians, most of them reporters and some charity workers.
NO PEACE, NO HONOR explains how the men were left behind. Nixon and Kissinger put their return second to Nixon being reelected.

reply

Nixon and Kissinger knew that the North Vietnam held back prisoners as bargaining chips for for war retribution payments.
The French government were still paying for soldiers captured in 1950s up until 1970

I wore an MIA armband for 17 years until I (by sheer coincidence) I met the mother of my soldier at a memorial gathering in Virginia. Shortly after that, the metal armband broke off my arm as if by 'magic'.

Not all of Vietnam veterans wives we're as monatary afflunt as this woman. Some wives of the Vietnam pows were actually middle to lower class income earners.
reply

If it wasn't for these courageous ladies, I do suspect that Nixon and Kissinger would have likely left even more of the MIAs in North Vietnam.

Not one hippy musician from Laurel Canyon in the 60's was drafted. (Hendrix was coerced into airborne by a judge.
