I have read a LOT on POW/MIAs over the years. This is a story about the purported finding of MSG John Robertson who was reported KIA/BNR in Laos.
There has not been anything as credible as this in a number of years. While it is highly probable to be a hoax or fraud of some kind.... What if it's not?
