Not on Trump& #39;s side here. But 1) Dean& #39;s brother Charlie wasn& #39;t in the military. Dean himself wrote in his 2003 book "Winning Back America" that "There was speculation that Charlie was in Laos because he was working for the CIA and I think my parents believed that to be the case."
2) Charlie Dean was definitely captured by Laotians. Dean went to Laos in 2002 & wrote that someone told him Charlie was killed by North Vietnamese but "I made the mistake of leading the witness...we don& #39;t know whether Charlie was killed by the North Vietnamese or someone else."
3) Charlie Dean was buried in a bomb crater. The US dropped more bombs on Laos than Germany & Japan combined during WW II. This makes Laos, which is smaller than Michigan, the most heavily-bombed country in history.
