Description

America secretly bombing the shit out of Cambodia and Laos, while blowing up babies wasn't too cool. No wonder those countries turned communist. And leaving unexploded bombs and mines behind for the great great grandchildren to blow off their limbs with is still a secret for most Americans. Now, let's all vote for or against abortions.....another unsolved argument of the '60's. From 1964 to 1973, the U.S. dropped more than two million tons of ordnance on Laos during 580,000 bombing missions—equal to a planeload of bombs every 8 minutes, 24-hours a day, for 9 years – making Laos the most heavily bombed country per capita in history. The bombings were part of the U.S. Secret War in Laos to support the Royal Lao Government against the Pathet Lao and to interdict traffic along the Ho Chi Minh Trail. The bombings destroyed many villages and displaced hundreds of thousands of Lao civilians during the nine-year period.
