They haven't been positively identified as American soldiers remains. 0 -

Well.......it just don't feel right to me.....those soldiers were members of the US military.... 0 -
All you know right now is that they are boxes of bones. There's no proof they are not just a jumbled mix from numerous individuals, much less who those individuals were.
The real question is what the Norks thought they could possibly achieve by keeping all those remains for decades. Other than pure cussedness (which is a Nork trait, for sure) I can't imagine what value they have for that regime. Bargaining chip?0 -
i believe the remains will get the FULL honor guard in the USA..even before identified...this is another example of AMERICA giving more than its full share for others in the world....germany ought to be grateful the allies did not raze the whole country to the dirt ...TWICE 0 -
we just sent shiploads of equipment and troops to germany for practices....need to STOP that WASTE of money....let em defend their OWN country on their generous 1.2% of GDP....not our game 0 -

I wonder if the Germans of today are aware of their past history of starting WWI and WWII and the atrocities committed ??
Perhaps they are like many in the USA today that have zero respect for America and the US Military.

bargaining chip for them to use when the time was right ...costs them NOTHING....they do not give a whiz about their many dead, less mouths to feed ...or starve.....their thinking and values are way diff than the ours..... 0 -

I'm German from both sides, and I wasn't offended. But I'm not a snowflake either...0
