Amazing! All by itself this is quite a feat. |

Glad for the families of the missing. I assume they will DNA check the remains to see who has been returned, as many nationalities have MIA soldiers in Korea. |

Yes, they are being sent for DNA analysis. |

Similar deal was done for the Japanese Government decades ago with the 'return' of the remains of a number of kidnapped Japanese. It was not too good, most of the remains were not from one person but from a number of unidentified individuals who were definitely NOT the person they were claimed to be. |

Wonder how many of these remains will turn out to be the remains from the mass graves at one of the work camps. Pretty easy to have some of the prisoners dig up the bodies and dump them in body bags. |

Hopefully they all prove to be US or even allied soldiers. However, many still believe that after the war, a number of US and probably other UN soldiers who were POWs were not returned. Some were taken by the USSR and the PRC as well. IIRC Gen. Mark Clark said about 800(?) US POWs were still in NoKo hands after supposedly they were all returned. Which sadly does not surprise me too much if true. The war in Korea was not over, it was only a Truce, and still is, AFAIK. Plus the USSR took many years after WWII to return many German and some of their allies back to their native countries. I think the surviving Spanish from the Blue Div, etc., were not released until @'56, IIRC.
And yes, I still don't trust Un, his sister and their associates as far as I could throw them.
