US POW's in N Korea???

[Sheldon]

I have this 83 year old friend that is a Korean war vet and he keeps up on happenings with his group and he related this story to me the other day...

According to one of his Marine Buddy's an Australian friend was recently in N Korea on an contract job when along side his bus he sees a group of workers in a ditch... The bus stops for him to look at the project and as he is looking around and making notes one of the guys comes over by him and talks on the down low.

He explains how he was a US solder and was captured during the Korean conflict and was kept as a POW after the end. The Aussie pretended to have his attention elsewhere but was taking detailed notes as the guy spoke to him. As he continued on he was told there were multiple US POW's still alive and being held used as slave labor, and the guy proceeded to give name, rank, serial number of himself as well as several other men in the group.

After this encounter he kept quiet about the incident, but as soon as he returned to Australia he turned his story and notes to the US consulate in Sidney, and nothing was done.

Has anyone else heard of this and if this is true why hasn't anything been done about it???

My friend... Isn't it about time you put that douche bag on ignore? Some of them just aren't worth the screen space.

This was not an e mail, but a story from an old friend that has never owned, or used a computer, he still believes in mail the old fashioned way with a stamp, and phone calls from phones with wires connected to them. He recently just purchased his first cell phone to use as a plan B if he falls and is injured.
so no this is not some internet story but one from a source I trust more than anyone here.

If this is true, the reason nothing has been done about it is...Obama is still president and he bows low to all our enemies.

IMO it is entirely possible that some POWs weren't repatriated after the Korean war but given that was almost 60 years ago I find it highly unlikely that any of them would have survived this long.

This is like the rumors of men being left behind in Vietnam. Those rumors have gone on for years but nothing, that we know of, has been done to investigate them. Hopefully, none were left behind but there is always the possibility that the rumors are true.

I've heard rumors for decades and have witnessed documents revealing that Eisenhower deliberately left behind as many as 3,000 GI's captured in N. Korea and relocated to China.
