Just something I heard WW2 vets say regularly about the armed conflicts and the prisoners taken during those conflict that came after WW2.

Vietnam didn't have a formal declaration of war and we sure as hell called captured soldiers (including good ol' John McCain) POWs rather than "hostages".
Why does everyone feel the need (not referring to you, just in general) to constantly talk out their asses about shit they know nothing about?
