plot synopsis:
In every war persons are lost - civilians and soldiers and nationals governments give up searching for them. This documentary tells about the destinies of missing American soldiers. "Nobody is left behind" is a basic principle of US military operations, but in fact many are lost in foreign countries. The truth is kept secret by US governments, the military bureaucracy and politicians and as nobody is without guilt, every revelation is impeded.
