LCDR Scott Spyker was shot down over Iraq back in 1991 and was declared killed in action. There was creditable intel evidence that he survived the plane crash and was being held by the Iraqi army. Several of his family members, and his best friend, has pressured Washington to find their son or at least his remains. After 10 years, then Secretary of the Navy, Richard Danzig officially changed his status from KIA to MIA/Captured. If there enough evidence to change his death cert, why are we not busting down doors to find our boy? Could you imagine being abandoned by your country and left to rot in some Iraqi shithole for 12 years? According to Danzig, errors were made within the chain of command that would warrrant Court Martial...one again I ask, why are we not going after our boy?
