Many people contacted me in regard to a documentary movie about an American Green Beret, missing some 44 years. They wanted to know if this story is true.
Unfortunately, this is another fraud, shamelessly pulling on the heartstrings of the many good people who want it to be true.
Conspiracy theorists of course will blame this on the government. Our government deserves blame for many things, but frankly, it strains even my imagination that any recent US administration would attempt to cover up this case. President Clinton would have had every reason to run it up the flag pole, as would have Bush and now Obama.
In any case, it would be easier to put a man on the moon than to cover up this case. It is too simple to check. The fraudsters are dependent on a naive audience.
As evidence, this official report from the Department of Defense Prisoners of War/Missing Personnel Office is dated 19 Feb 2009. Fingerprints taken by the FBI show him not to be Robertson.
