Did our great President Bush discussed the POW issue while he was in Vietnam?

Even though I support trade, and full diplomatic recognition of Vietnam.....there's a lot of unanswered questions.\n\nMia's need to be accounted for.....BEFORE we have full ties to Vietnam. The Vietnam conflict was a somber tale in our history. The brave Americans that died there need to be brought home.

Marcel has made some good points, with the exception of the ending of the Vietnam War in 1973. Recently, in a debate about 'Deep Throat,' Pat Buchanan had stated that President Nixon had authorized the 1973 pullout from Vietnam as a means of getting peoples' minds off of Watergate. It is very unlikely that the war effort would have been terminated when it did, because earlier President Nixon had placed some very severe conditions on American withdrawal, but in 1973 they were all abandoned.\n\nSpecifically, President Nixon had made the following demands on North Vietnam and the Viet Cong:\n\n1-All foreign combatants to be withdrawn from South Vietnam - instead, the US accepted 'certification' that NVA units in South Vietnam would stay in place and not continue to attack.\n\n2-All American servicemen listed as prisoners would be returned to the USA or relevant explanations provided - the US had maintained that 1500 American servicemen were missing and assumed alive and captured in Laos by either the Pathet Lao or the North Vietnames Army, but the USA agreed to instead list them all as dead.\n\n3-Verifiable cease fire to be in place before the USA would withdraw forces - the USA agreed to drop this condition altogether.\n\nThe Christmas Bombings, largely credited with bringing the North Vietnamese back to Paris, would have probably been continued (with subsequent continuation of loss of B-52 bombers over Hanoi) until North Vietnam actually made agreements they would stick to. The USA would then have kept faith with South Vietnam in 1975 when the next round of incursions began, and hippies would then have assaulted President Reagan in 1977 for reinstituting the draft and sending troops back to South Vietnam and invading the Peoples Republic of China. In 1981, discredited by new military deadlocks in Shanghai, President Reagan would have been followed by President Edmund Muskie, the economy would have collapsed 1n 1983, and in 1984 President Muskie would have benn succeeded by President Gus Hall, perennial candidate of the American Communist Party. In 1989, President Hall would have broken ties with Moscow and alligned the PRUSA (Peoples' Republic of the United States of America) with Albania and Yugoslavia as a third tier of World Communism. World War III would have ensued.

John Murtha \n\nremained in the Marine Corps Reserves. In 1959, then-Captain Murtha took command of the 34th Special Infantry Company, Marine Corps Reserves, in Johnstown. He remained in the Reserves after his discharge from active duty until he VOLUNTEERED for service in Vietnam in 1966-67, serving as a battalion staff officer (S-2 Intelligence Section), receiving the BRONZE STAR with Combat "V" for VALOR in combat, TWO PURPLE HEARTS and the CROSS OF GALLANTRY. He retired from the Reserves as a COLONEL in 1990, receiving the NAVY DISTINGUISHED MEDAL AWARD.\n\nO, and what's Bush's service record again, sweetcakes????\nNEVER MIND... we already know.

I find it rather interesting that John Kerry said what he did.  He is constantly trying imply that Pres. Bush isn't very smart, but if you use Mr. Kerry's measuring stick.  John Kerry was the one that ended up in Vietnam, not Pres. Bush.  Does that mean that Mr. Kerry was stupid, didn't work hard, and couldn't find any other way to make a living?  Pres. Bush seems to be the more intelligent one if Mr. Kerry is to be believed.

I think only the person that spat on you can truly answer this question. But, maybe it was all of the liberal rhetoric floating through the campuses or the weed wafting through the air.\n\nThank the Viet Nam vets for not letting it happen again.\n\nThank you for your service and yur sacrifice!

While i'm sure Mr. Bush has indeed had conversations with countless people who are considered experts on the Iraqi situation. He has failed to act on any advice that would alleiveate tensions in the region. The situation has now become so bad that the solution will probally cost many more american and british lives there. Good question.

Try this link, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on POW, there is some information.\n\nI found this on a yahoo search, just putting in Fort Robinson.  I didn't try this search, but perhaps search the words US POW Camps.  Good luck.

George W Bush\n\nHe "avoided" Vietnam by joining the National Guard.\n\n\nSo what? He didn't want his son to get killed in Vietnam, what father wouldn't use his influence to potentially save his son's life?\n\nIf you were able to do the same thing for your son, would you?

Yes Bush was disappointed that he could not bully or force the Chinese President into our way of thinking. Our currency could be for a rough ride!

Well poor dumb George can least have pappy Bush tell everyone how honest he is.  George Senior is either just as stupid or has Alzheimers, but truth is they are both war mongers and they both should have never been allowed to procreate.\n\nIf would have fixed George senior 60 some years ago we wouldn't have the scenario we have today.\n As far as Dick Cheney he pulls the strings, he also made a lot of blunders as the CEO of Haliburton.  And maybe you should check how nice of man Dick Cheney is as well as Jeb Bush.\n\nCheck this link:\n\nhttp://www.newamericancentury.org/\nalso check whos names are on the "Statement Of Principles" section.

Yes\n\nThe bottom line is that all countries, in this supposed civilized world, have no right to occupy/invade another country unless there is a threat.... That threat has to be proven and UN approval must be granted. This is exactly why we, and many other countries, helped Kuwait when Iraq occupied/invaded them.\n\nOne country has no right to decide on its own to suddenly go liberate another country. That is common sense in a civilized progressive world. That (and I am not trying to compare Bush to Hitler) is exactly what Germany did in WWII when HItler kept occupying one country after another. The world recognized that as wrong.\n\nAlso as far as being charged with war crimes... yes.\n\n* Bush has violated the geneva convention \n* Bush has used redension to knowingly use torture.\n* Bush is holding prisoners without allowing the Red Cross to have access to some of them and also not releasing some of their identities.\n\nSorry if some of us Americans don't want to hear that but all of that is fact and are clearly war crimes.\n\nI also believe that assassinating ppl in Iraq and killing 100,000s shoud be considered a war crime in this circumstance because Bush had no right to invade that country. He invaded on false-pretense. BUT that part is just my personal belief and I am not sure where that falls under any war crimes act.\n\nAlso Answerman, don't fall into the 'congress voted for it' trap. They want you to believe that all who voted to GIVE BUSH AUTHORITY IF NECESSARY was saying it was ok to go to war. I've seen many interviews with politicians who stated they never would have believed in 100 years that Bush was going to go into Iraq without UN approval. They got tricked into falling for his scam.\n\nPpl should learn their history: Vietnam, Korea, Bosnia were not occupations. They were either forms of containtment (that is the political term for the freeze on the spreading of communism) or humanitarian acts.
