“when a young man or woman joins our military, they make a commitment to support and defend our Constitution. At that same time, our Government assumes a sacred commitment to care for those personnel throughout their service. I am appalled by recent revelations, made in Chairman Dornan's Military Forces and Personnel Subcommittee, that on two occasions, our Government knowingly left live POW's behind at the end of a conflict. This is outrageous and inexcusable. This legislation restores provisions removed from the law by this year's Defense authorization bill that make it difficult for such a grave breach of confidence to happen again. I urge my colleagues to support this bill.”
