Just recently, I have been looking into the Vietnam conflict in slightly greater detail than before. I have tracked down many veteran's websites and am suprised at the polarity of opinion over this soldier. My current interest is in the return of US PWs from Hanoi in 1973 - and those that did not come back. Those who are missing and in some cases presumed alive, even after all this time.
As our vets are getting bombarded with questions, I thought I'd add my questions too.
Is there a balance of vet opinion (even on this site) that would agree on Garwood's status - was it political or a military affair? After all, it appears that there were US officers broadcasting propaganda from Hanoi who, when they returned, received only a slap on the wrist!
The US government says (as does the SRV) that there are no more US personnel in Vietnam. What do our vets think on this question? If not in Vietnam how about Laos or Cambodia? I would be interested to receive any pointers on the questions above. Thank you for reading this and I look forward to more give and take!
