This is a question that has been asked for many years and has never been truthfully answered by our Government, by the Soviet Union, China, North Korea and North Vietnam. This has been a systemic problem since 1945 and the waning days of World War II and has been allowed to fester through the Korean War and the Vietnam War. It became so easy to dismiss anyone who appeared on the American Military casualty offices list of Missing in Action, that when Lt. Michael Scott Speicher was shot down on the first night of Desert Storm, he literally was forgotten with the wave of a hand completely dismissed by everyone, from his Commander on up the Chain. He did not even get the benefit of a search and rescue flight until almost 3 years after his incident of loss. Talk about leaving no man behind.
