POW TV program

[dreamaker]

I was watching a TV program the other day, I walked in on it already started program about POW’s, watched some of it and went back to what I was doing.   Awhile later, it occurred to me it didn’t make much sense to me.   It was about POW’s in Nam, and how many years after the police action, they were still in captivity. I mean these were not high officials, just regular military people serving their country.
 Now I have worked with and did some training for Asian persons for work, and I have notice they have their way of doing things. I call it Asian logic; it’s allotted different than our simple logic.  I guess it must work, they have been around for several thousand years, and we have been around for just a little over two hundred years.
So what is gained by tormenting these poor souls in these prisoners of war camps, it’s been said some still exists and there are still prisoners there.  What is their point, the war, police action, or whatever is over, time to get back and try and be normal again.  I just don’t see what they gain buy these actions, and our prez is in bed with them.  Correct me where I am wrong, or show me the logic.  I am assuming some of our people have been there and have seen how things are there, where we can't see it from here.

If there is POW's still out there and the U.S. knows about it,  then shame on us for allowing it still.  yet another reason to get Trump in there to stop the madness. 

That really irks my skin to think it is still going on today.   Where is RAMBO when we need him?  To be holding them 40 some years now when into their 60s now is just plain wrong in my eyes.  The POWs are not like bin laden and other terrorists.

But what is the point of holding any common military person after the war is over, what do you gain from it!

The possibility of hiding the evidence of war crimes?

Here is some more information about the history of this matter: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/05/21/obama-urged-to-press-vietnam-over-missing-us-prisoners-during-hi/

I'll guess there always be questions about missing persons after a war that can't be resolved. It's about the same for missing soldiers who fought in WW II, but even today they sometimes find an answere about a missing person from that war. I remember a couple of months ago they could identify a British soldier because of his DNA. He was burried here in the Netherlands as a unknown soldier and now his brother was able to pay his respects to a proper grave with a proper name.
I don't believe there are living POW's from the Vietnam war anymore, but I wish for the families that on one day they will have an answere about what was heppend to their loved ones.

I had friends, I said good bye to and never heard from again, rather than a POW, I hope they are MIA, sitting under a palm tree, sipping on a margarita. I think of them from time to time.
