Anonymous Coward User ID: 2420779 United States 12/24/2019 12:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A soldier was found alive after missing for thirty years. Apparently ordered to hold his position until relieved was taken to heart literally! Quoting: VetsMom [link to thenorthbaybay.ca] We probably should give him a nice medal. Wow, I don't know which one covers this kind of military oversight. Maybe they need to start putting V-8 juice in the rations. |

Wow, I don't know which one covers this kind of military oversight. Maybe they need to start putting V-8 juice in the rations. When asked how he survived on six months of rations, the soldier replied "There is other stuff besides food to eat." I can't imagine what he could possibly mean by that!

Man is forever solving the most perplexing problems as he ventures ever further into the unknown. But where are the outer limits of his ingenuity? Will he ever encounter a problem, a Gordian Knot, which he cannot ultimately cut? --GLPPower-- |

Meanwhile they're holding him at the psych facility. Poor guy, will probably end up there permanently regardless of any legal action. We may never know the whole story.
