Yesterday morning, on the way home from grocery shopping, I glance over at the bus stop and notice a woman's large wallet and umbrella unattended on the bench. I immediately pull over because a kinda sketchy dude is walking up and eyeballing the wallet as well.
I tell Mike what's going on and he gets out to grab it. The wallet has a woman's ID, social security card, multiple bank cards, and $400 cash she had pulled from the ATM across the street about 30m prior. Thankfully, she lives just down the street so we head over to return it.

So this is super gross, but maybe it's a good time to really explore POW-MIA culture and how it's long been co-opted by a partisan agenda.
M.I.A., or, Mythmaking in America is a good book that explores the roots of the post-Vietnam POW-MIA culture and how it was hijacked as a tool to perpetuate the belief that politicians had abandoned Americans overseas and that the American public no longer cared about them.

“The BBC was hesitant to broadcast Richard Dimbleby's report as it contained such strong imagery and needed to be corroborated.
The war correspondent threatened to ‘never broadcast again’ if the report was not played.”
