37. Amy Waters Yarsinske: Find the MIAs
Manage episode 290953012 series 2917709
Former naval intelligence officer and bestselling author Amy Waters Yarsinske and publisher Kris Millegan discuss Amy’s book, “AN AMERICAN IN THE BASEMENT: The Betrayal of Captain Scott Speicher and the Cover-up of His Death.” Speicher ejected from his stricken F/A-18 Hornet on the first night of the Persian Gulf War and survived, contrary to reports. Protected by a Bedouin tribal group, he hid for nearly four years, but was finally captured. Years later, in 2004/5, he was killed by Saddam Hussein’s forces after America invaded Iraq. The United States government, since World War I, does little to find its MIAs (missing in action), despite token efforts.
