About Those “I Escaped from the VC/NVA” Claims
Hondo | October 7, 2015, From This Ain't Hell
One of the common – and immensely frustrating – claims by military fakes is falsely claiming to have been held as a POW in Vietnam or elsewhere in Southeast Asia. It’s also one of the easier false military claims to disprove quickly. DPAA maintains a public list of POWs who returned from captivity during or at the end of the Vietnam War.
However, many individuals making a “Vietnam POW” aren’t content to merely claim they were a POW. Many have to claim to have been in a “tiger cage” temporarily, or to have later somehow escaped from enemy custody – or both. Hell, Jonn posted an article about one such fake claim earlier today.
Well, it turns out this kind of claim is also laughably easy to disprove. Turns out that DPAA maintains a second list – specifically, a list of those who successfully escaped enemy captivity during the Vietnam War.

James Nicholas "Nick" Rowe (February 8, 1938 – April 21, 1989) was a United States Army officer and one of only 34 American prisoners of war to escape captivity during the Vietnam War.[1] Colonel Rowe was credited with developing the rigorous Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape (SERE) training program taught to high-risk military personnel (such as Special Forces and aircrews) and the U.S. military doctrine which institutionalizes these techniques and principles to be followed by captured personnel.
In 1989, Rowe was killed by a unit of the New People's Army in the Philippines called the Alex Boncayao Brigade.
