You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

Isn't POW*MIA bullshit anyway, meant to cover up the insane amount of casualties in Vietnam by saying "uhh lots of them are POWs, we're not getting completely wrecked over there, yeah that's it"? I remember reading about that somewhere

As someone mentioned earlier, it's based on post-Vietnam conspiracy theories, people looking to blame civilian leadership for losing the war, and politicians not being able to distinguish between Rambo movies and reality.
