Were any female US military personell taken prisoner by enemy forces in either the Korean or Vietnam wars? I vaguely recall a TV-movie about an Army nurse who had been a POW in Vietnam, but I don’t know if it claimed to be fact based or not.
Dr. Eleanor Ardel Vietti
“She went to Vietnam to heal. She became America’s first female prisoner of war in that country.”
