I feel like I've been punched in the gut and I haven't read the book yet.

I know many have negative opinions about Haney's Inside Delta Force Book. But he is the only one who I can quote. He has a very interesting chapter about what you are asking. His credibility aside, other people have voiced very similar comments. Nothing in US Military history compares to this. There just aren't words to describe it.
Maybe a cause but by no means an excuse. Vietnam was a dark period in our history. Not just the War, but thats what most considered to be the biggest issue dividing America then. Now the War ends. Everyone wants to put it behind them, just like when all Wars end. No one wants to hear the word Vietnam War.
Now you have people bringing up the possibility of living POW'S still in Vietnam. Not only that, also saying the Government knows about POW'S left behind. No one wanted to listen. The more time that passed the less likely someone would listen. Hard to even think about it.
Whats the name of the Book you are reading Sir?
