 My job was to help locate the bodies of U.S. servicemen killed in

 It didn't involve the sort of killing that probably gave you a
 woodie, or,
 in fact any killing at all.

 Yes.  We've heard that story many times without a shred of supporting
 data.  It doesn't really pass the smell test.
 
 
 
 When Harry first mentioned this several years ago I became curious and
 did some digging around looking for info on any such program.  Never
 found anything about it.  He mentioned that he worked for a military
 type
 ... a "General" if I recall correctly.  That just didn't make sense to
 me.  It's not how the military is structured, particularly in an
 area of
 conflict or fighting.
 
 I've looked again from time to time but still have not found any
 references to programs that involved having hired civilians searching
 for
 bodies during the active Vietnam War period.
 
 Certainly there have been organizations and programs since the war
 ended
 that attempt to locate MIA's,  but I'll be dipped if I can find
 anything
 remotely similar to what Harry is talking about.
 
 Couldn't find it on the internets, eh? ?
 
 
 
 Nope.  Can't find even a remote reference to any such program that hired
 civilians to locate bodies while we were still engaged in the war.
 Was there a name for this program or the specific activity that you were
 involved with?
 
 
 Hard as it might be to believe, there is information out there that
 might not be on the internets.
 
 
 
 Perhaps but if was a bonafide goverment (or even civilian run) program
 or activity it is more than likely that there would be some historical
 evidence of it or at least some references to it.  The Vietnam War is
 well documented historically on the web.
 
 
 
 There were a couple of references years ago to the program within
 histories of the sponsoring agency,
 
 What 'sponsoring agency', liar?
