"Biden's Emotional Remarks on WWII Loss and Trump's Controversial Comments"

President Joe Biden recounted the story of his uncle's death during World War II, suggesting that his remains were unable to be recovered due to the presence of cannibals in New Guinea, a claim that differs from the official account by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting agency. While there is documented cannibalism in the region, the agency's report states that three crew members were lost in the crash and an aerial search found no trace of the missing aircraft or crew members. Biden's claim about the recovery of his uncle's remains appears to be true, as his uncle is memorialized on the Walls of the Missing at the Manila American Cemetery in the Philippines. The White House did not provide additional details regarding Biden's claim about cannibals preventing the recovery of his uncle's remains.
