We examine the case of Robert (or Bob or Bobby) Garwood. In 1965, while serving in the Marines during the Vietnam War, Garwood was captured by the enemy. Some would say he willingly assisted the opposing communist North Vietnamese, some would say he did what he could to survive. What became of his captivity remains a debate to this day.

War is hell and most people who fight them are glad when they are over, despite what side they are on.

Like a bad coke bender, some people want to keep the fight going. Today we explore secret armies and the guys (maybe gals too) that tried keeping up the fight.
