downed airmen were captured as early as 1965 including the cia air america pilots operating in Laos. ground troops were rarely taken alive when captured. mainly because nlf and nva didn't have adequeate resources to keep them alive. in difficult jungle conditions it was easy to get cut off and lost from organized units.
