There are 2 groups of POW/MIA's that are never mentioned. i personally do
not disagree with what the current POW/MIA issue is about BUT i find lots of
positive angles on the issue the first being that we are all prisoners of
war.
The 2 groups that i am interested in are:
The prisoners held in the Long Binh Jail. This was the US Military jail in
country Vietnam. It was jam packed at one point with prisioners hand cuffed
to chain link fences and stuffed into shipping containers. What were the
charges against them? How many were locked up? Did they all survive their
imprisonment? What happened to them?
And the Vietnamese Prisoners captured by US Forces and our "Free World"
allies? What happened to them? Is there a list of prisioners held by US and
Free World Forces?
