Funny how they never show anyone clearing a jam.I always thought it would be nice to have a couple of firearms that NEVER RAN OUT OF AMMO, no matter how long your fired them.

I don't think any POW/MIAs from Vietnam are still alive. I think at most they made to the 1980 before being capped in the Soviet Union.Yeah, it is fairly long. Here's a few hints. You can pretty much eliminate any US Army people and US Marines, and concentrate on US Navy or Air Force. Any info that the Army or Marines had would have been time sensitive, and dealt with immediate issues, such as troop movements, asset movements, local patrol information, logistics, etc. Those with a 'bb' designation were people who went down in crashes, were observed crashing and burning, and it is highly unlikely that they survived those crashes. Hell, when Lt. Col. Crandall went back to LZ X-ray with General Moore he spent some time looking for the remains of one of his choppers that went down. Those men were carried as MIA.
Still it's kinda funny that the activists who supposedly have access to all this classified data can't really come up with the names of suspected abductees or what they might have known.
It also makes no sense that people taken and subjected to the conditions that existed with horrific wounds and poor medical services would stay alive for (in some cases) almost 50 years.
Many of the names involved in the POW/MIA issue are repeated over and over again, and have been repeatedly discredited by factual information. They're demonstrated con men.

i don't think any of them made it to the Soviet Union, unless they wanted to go there. All available evidence indicates that we got as accurate as possible an accounting from the government of Vietnam.I don't think any POW/MIAs from Vietnam are still alive.

i can tell you from personal experience that the ammo you DO carry gains weight by the minute. It is especially true when somebody is the age i was when i retired. It's not something i'd want to think about doing now.Nor do they have any problems CARRYING that infinite supply of ammo.![]()
I'm trying to understand the argument, but how does any of that follow? Even granting the premise (difficult to do), the conclusion just comes out of left field."AMerican can't lose a war, so if we lost the war then we must have been STABBED in the BACK!!!!!! OH NOEZ ZOMG!"
This has it's direct corrolary, "America never leaves a man behind, so if we left a man behind, it was because we were STABBED IN THE BACK OH NOEZ ZOMG!!!!!!!"
I was not disscussing that, I was identifying the POW-MIA myth as being a corrolary of the AMerican "Doltchstosslegende".I'm trying to understand the argument, but how does any of that follow? Even granting the premise (difficult to do), the conclusion just comes out of left field.
You'd have to additionally posit magic being real and some sort of chronomancy for where prisoners are to have any bearing on how a war that led to their capture progressed and ended.
Some POWs captured during the Korean War chose to stay behind after having been heavily indoctrinated during their captivity. A few of them returned to the US in the 60s and 70s. None who were transferred to Chinese control ever returned.
