Mattis: Military teams could be sent into North Korea to search for missing American remains

Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis speaks to reporters at the Pentagon, Friday, July 27, 2018.

WASHINGTON – The Pentagon could send military teams into North Korea to search for the remains of thousands of missing Americans who fought during the Korean War if relations between the North and the United States continue to improve, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Friday.

Restarting a long-stalled program that sent American military personnel into North Korea to search for remains of U.S. war dead and former prisoners of war is under consideration, Mattis told reporters at the Pentagon. Joint U.S.-North Korean military searches for American remains were suspended in 2005 by former President George W. Bush as tensions increased between the nations over North Korean nuclear activity.

In the past, the Nork's have spread bones out for us to find.  And then we pay to get them.  I hope Mattis doesn't fall for this whole game like it seems is happening.

Also, we should be demanding hard info on the POWs, not just remains.
