Any accounts in real life?
Were there real camps like that after war or this film is just another american paranoia exploitation?
shareOh yes...presumably. Though the Vietnam government denied that they exist, numerous reports from soldiers and other people have stated that POW's were kept after the war. I saw a documentary where they found secret cells in the ground where they held POW's. Though the thing was empty, they inferred that this was a place to hide prisoners.
shareThere really was a mission after the war to search for MIAs in SouthEast Asia.
The mission was paid for by Ross Perot. It was a Special Ops unit of Delta Force that went in to a landing zone and were immediately taken prisoner by Communists due to a security leak. The Communists demanded the release of prisoners being held. They started killing Delta Force men one at a time until their demands were met. Half of the men on that mission were killed.
I know this to be true becuase the squadron leader of that mission is my wifes cousin. He was also the Guy who did six months recon intell for the failed
Hostage rescue in Iran. I always thought that this was made up BS until he showed me the hand written letter of thanks for his service to his country from President Ronald Reagan.
They were war criminals, not POWs, who illegally invaded the lands of Vietnam
