Yes.
Our government did.

still there? like alive, I have to believe they would all be dead by this point. Back crushing manual labor and no health care would limit your lifespan.
Shit theres a great book that talks about this, cant remember. So basically there was some traction back in the early 80's to go get our guys, a week or so before the operation is going to take place some ex colonel from the USA army, pops up out of no where in Thailand, and starts making outrageous claims about how he is looking for mercenaries to go into Laos and brake out our boys. Well the major news outfits cover this crack pot, and give him his play on the nightly news, basically he comes off like a tin foil hatter. He never accomplishes anything other than making it look like a fools quest to send soldiers to find out what is really going on.
So the powers that be have to scrap the mission.
Or look like morons because by this point the Laos had moved the men.
Listen I know some vietnam guys and have been all over SEA, Laos is literally the land that time forgot, to this day. You could hide anything in those jungles.
An interesting aside, there were many documented cases of aircraft being shot down in Laos, and the crew surviving, with other air crews witnessing them being taken prisoner. Not one POW who was returned, had ever spent time in Laos. I think there were a couple who escaped, sorry I dont have the exact numbers here in front of me.
So yes the government abandoned them. Kerry and McCain were the main senators against trying to actually find out what happened to all the missing men.

sorry I have to expand on the Colonel.
Basically the deep state didnt want boots on the ground getting our guys back, so they got this idiot to make a spectacle out of the whole thing.
Ruining our chances for some resolution.

The only American military men in SEA are unlikable idiots who go to the Philippines for 14 year old wives.

Didn't the CIA release info that thousands of men were captured by Best Korea during the Korean War and were never repatriated?
Samuel Cox

>Kerry and McCain were the main senators against trying to actually find out what happened to all the missing men.
Which one of those got captured, tortured and recorded a confession saying the USA is an evil imperialist invading peaceful Vietnam?
