[QUOTE="garytx, post: 3802831, member: 49752"] There were so many missions in Vietnam that never officially happened. It is very likely your late friend is telling the truth. As others have mentioned, there is no use in pursuing the truth. Even if there are gov't records documenting his mission and capture as a POW, it will likely never see the light of day. We ask our military to do things we don't want to ever know about. We should never asked so they never need to remember. Let the truth stay forever in the shadows, locked-up and forgotten in the memories of the men and women that have served. As for the person that doesn't believe the POW event occurred. Leave it alone. Minds can't be changed. Some don't want to know of the evil that occurs during war, or know of the harm our friends and loved ones went through. As a Vietnam Veteran once told me, "I was never in Laos, we never flew 137 missions into Laos. I was never there. But we did get lost, a lot!" ;) [/QUOTE]
