ronald reagan and his vice president george h.w. bush who perot ran against for the white house a few months later in part out of frustration many thought over the issue. bill clinton certainly appreciated that. we no longer have high drama over america s p.o.w.s in part because there are so few of them. unlike previous wars where thousands were held captive you can count the number of missing or captured from afghanistan or iraq on one hand. in 2011 david fife wrote about the last two unaccounted for at the time. captured by shiite militants in iraq and executed and bowe bergdahl. six months from now when we get out of afghanistan we won t have a p.o.w. controversy. no one will be left behind. however you feel about bowe bergdahl is that not kind of a good thing.
