Sihanouk Suggests Finding a Rambo
American soldiers missing since the Vietnam War may still be alive, but it probably would require a Rambo-style operation to rescue them, Cambodian leader Prince Norodom Sihanouk said in an interview published Sunday.
It is not likely that the United States would find any missing Americans, he told Newsweek magazine, but “if you could find one Rambo to go in there, that would be good.”
In a film about Vietnam veteran Rambo, actor Sylvester Stallone single-handedly rescues MIAs held in Vietnam since the war.
Sihanouk, leader of Cambodia from 1941 to 1970, heads a coalition opposed to the puppet regime set up by Vietnam.
