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.

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?

JohnnyMop swishes his head...


"Or don't, and show the world why you run from Scotty and slammer."



There y'all go again, JohnnyMop.......supporting the two most promising recruits in your Moppetts brigade.
I traveled 1500 miles one way to get within spitting distance of your perverted recruit and called him out. What did he do after all his tough talk...he ran like the little bitch he is making excuse After excuse why he avoided me.
Your other quality recruit wouldn't come near me unless he had his gang of " track boys". To protect him.
Y'all really do need to learn how to separate the wheat from the chaff when recruiting.

You just know it was top secret. And participation made paying taxes optional for the rest of your life.

point? This is wrecked.boats, after all.

Hard as it might be to believe, there is information out there that
might not be on the internets.

Johnnymop is a brittle, fragile old fart who has had many surgeries to
keep himself upright. His condition could only have gotten worse since I
last saw him in about 2003, when he looked as if he were HIV positive.
His talking about "running" is only an old man's projected bluster.

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.
