Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy had a US release date of 5 September 2011 .
Approximately 600 US POW's were released in 1973; of which most of whom were Airmen (pilots and aircrewmen).
It is US Policy to pay POWS 'back pay' for their time in POW camps. If it didn't happen, you can generally blame the bureacratic nature of government. While its easy to have a policy sometimes its harder to adminster that policy. For instance, if a soldier is listed MIA, and dies in cativity, the natural process of the government might assume death, and pay the death benefit at the time the soldier was listed as MIA without ever really knowing the soldier WAS a POW. Then of course you have soldiers believed dead, who turn up living, now of course they want their back pay, but the government has already paid out a 'death benefit.'

A beneficiary for upaid pay and allowances is someone who is declared on the DD93 to receive any money owed to the Soldier after his/her death or if they are in a "missing or POW" status. For example, if a soldier dies on the 30th of the month, he/she will get the soldier's ordinary entitlements from the 15th-30th, plus allowances(housing, separate rations:food) and any other pay(ie clothing allowance) that was entitled to the soldier. If the soldier is declared missing or in POW status. the appropriate service will pay the above entitlements to the designated person once the soldier's status has been officially declared.
