Search Starts In Vietnam For Pilot Who Crashed

With all due respect to the family, doesn't the military have more urgent things to do than this?

The motto is "no man left behind" and the military owes the family the respect in finding his remains.

Rob Simmons should be lauded for his efforts.

Shocking, I'm glad to see eople have not forgotten those beloved soldiers who fought in the putrid jungles of Vietnam.

I'm 43 years old and can clearly too this day remember the years of my life while vietnam went on, older brothers , cousins,uncles, fathers. How dear you even have the nerve to write such a stupid comment! First off you fool these are men and women not the military (directly) who take part in these special recovery operations. Many times its ex-army/marines/navy. You see (Silly) as you rightly name yourself! Some people still care / remember painfully a life wasting war that war was! What it did to our nation and incase your not paying attention to the politicians the major vietnam that is always brought up as a case against ever getting involved in any war or invasion. Too all the vets who have served and sadly had to read this idiots comment I am sorry to you and thank you for your service! I am personaly moved and affected still from the vietnam war as it affected very much me growing up. My father a Navy man and I fought many times over our involvment overthere and years later with a heavy heart admitted I was right. My whole family has served in the military in every war or service except grenada (which would have been my time actualy) except myself that after vietnam / nixon just couldn't trust our gov't to do the right thing anymore. But I have thee most utmost respect for our vets and this country (I just don't trust the politicians) thats all.God Bless the USA and the men and women who have fought / died / and have been buried under her red white and blue colors!!!!!!!(Silly your an idiot!

You have no concept of the word 'Respect'.
So please, STFU and GFY!

I'd like to expand your comment to silly to include ESAD and FOAD.

Excuse me, as a person who had lost a loved one class '64 in Vietnam, I would have been very saddened to hear this answer. You are blessed to have your loved ones near you. The Army can and will take care of what it needs to do to keep this country safe.

Thank you for your eloquent response to not a silly person, but a stupid one. Thank you for your service to this country. My nephew just finished two tours in Afganistan and Iraq. Semper Fi is still with him and he is proud to be, just like his dad in Vietnam, a Marine.

Thers is no such thing as an ex-Marine.

Only God looks down on Marines.
Everyone else can only look UP.
