Justin Taylan has been to the remote Pacific island nation of Papua New Guinea dozens of times over the past two decades, spending countless hours slogging through crocodile-infested swamps in his quest to document as many World War II airplane wreck sites as possible.

Any and all means should be utilized to ensure that everyone listed as MIA/POW be accounted for and found, period.

Yes as some civilians dig harder, faster, and conduct searches in more spots than a federal peer. The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency is top heavy and inefficient.
