I'll have to dig thru a couple of boxes of T2K stuff to find that article, but I do remember it. If memory serves, the POWs woke up after TDM to find their guards had all deserted, presumably to look after their families.

One thing that Canadian Army forgot on his list of POW camps: there wouldn't be many, but there were female servicemembers in the Pact Militaries, and North Korea does use women in combat arms. So there would have to be a camp in the U.S. where female POWs would be sent. From what I've read, the U.S. Army now makes sure that combat troops and MPs now know how to handle female prisoners, and that if women and men are captured together, the women are immediately separated from the men. (one of the functions of the "Lioness" teams in Iraq is to search local women, including any who are detained)
