Since the US did not declare war on North Vietnam but bombed them anyway, North Viet ground defense system personnel operating SAMs (Surface to Air Missiles), radar, and other AAA (Anti-Aircraft Artillery) systems referred to downed US airmen (shot down US jet aviators) as "air pirates." And the North had a tough time considering (accepting the fact) downed US airmen as legitimate POWs (Prisoners of War).
