List of things government stays silent about.

Missing Vietnam War POWs. After the Vietnam War, while many went home, others are still missing. While sure many died, I believed some of them were send to other Communist Nations and the US government didn't do anything.

In fact Jenkins, one of the Americans who defected to North Korea reported hearing that some of them are in North Korea.

Perhaps most intriguing, Jenkins said that he had heard reports of a work crew of captive white men, whom he believed to be American prisoners of war. For many years, rumors circulated that American POWs from the Korean War remained in North Korea, but Jenkins said he understood the captives to be younger POWs, from the Vietnam War, sent by the North Vietnamese to Pyongyang as thanks for North Korean assistance during the war. He said that he thought they had been imprisoned at a “model farm” called Chongsan-ri. What North Korea would want with a work crew of American men is not obvious—the country has plenty of indigenous labor.
