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.


Like bull****? You are a known liar, Krause.

I've searched the Internet looking for info on any programs that

several much more recent programs that involve searches by civilian
organizations for those missing in action but none I've come across
involved civilian contractors doing searches while the US was engaged in

The army had units staffed by military personnel called "graves

one of those units. It was tough duty and he never talked about it.

In terms of going out into the field and searching for bodies, that's
nonsense. Those were combat areas, very dangerous, and bodies
disentegrated rapidly in the tropical heat and humidity.

We all know that Harry is lying. Why do we need to convince him of the fact?

If a unit was in contact and lost soldiers, the unit would try to bring the dead or
wounded soldier in, usually by calling a Medevac helicopter. There was no such thing
as civilians going out to look for bodies.

Another of Krause's lies.

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, but I don't know if the histories
are still out there and, if they are, how they have been revised. I
recall there was some controversy about what some of us were doing, but
not what my group was trying to do.

I thought I made it clear that my efforts with the agency came about
as a fluke: I was in Vietnam supposedly to write about and help
publicize agricultural pacification programs but the program was
cancelled and I was asked if I were interested in another assignment
with a completely different agency. We gathered info on KIAs and some
other guys were trying to find out where POWs might be, but I didn't
have anything to do with that. When we found a dead soldier, we checked
for ID, which was not always there for various reasons, and arranged for
removal of the remains.


What was the name of the "sponsoring agency"?


Expect to be asked why you think you are 'entitled' to an answer. When the question's
too hard, that's his MO.
