Old Soldiers Never Die, They Just Leave Alot of Bad Shit

[Henry Musikar]

Don't forget that McCain, practically single-handedly, blocked efforts to
find American MIAs.

I'm no longer amused by mouth-breathers who rant about the lack of
Vietnamese cooperation in finding American MIAs. The Vietnamese are
missing over a million people from that war. If they can't even find
their own, I think they have been remarkably helpful in helping us
find ours. Very few of their missing soldiers were found in bachelor
pads in Manhattan.

Most of the American MIAs were downed pilots whose bodies were
unrecoverable. The others are a different story. Americans seem to
have an impossible time coming to grips with the idea that a young man
might choose to stay behind in a communist or enemy country because a
pretty girl was nice to him for the first time in his life. They have
them in every war. They're called deserters.
