Yes, I did, but that is why I put a question at the end and not a period making my reply a statement. I didn't think Hesh meant it that way. Looking for clarification. And thank you for that.

This book is an extraordinary written indicment of intra-agency cooperation (which never occurred before and never will again) to negate any evidence that POW's ever existed in Vietnam. Like I said I avoided this book for years, because my generation got caught up in this whether you were in the service or not, and I listen to a dear friend many mornings at coffee talk about his group and single meetings at the VA, (Sepcial Forces helicopter crew chief), so I stopped following my literary interests in this era awhile ago. But like my brother will tell you I am a history buff, so I dropped my guard and now I have a renewed interest again. I sometimes become obsessed with different eras or writers like my interest in Kerouac. I read everything even remotely attributed to him, sometimes twice.

It is one thing if it is impossible to follow up on POW's, but it is an entirely different when so many people purposely led the American people away from what appears to be incontrovertable truth that American pow's were alive at least into the late 1980's.
