Message: [QUOTE="roninsthao85, post: 337253"] Revised: Regarding the Secret War in Laos which was a program under the CIA, it was a designed to prevent communism from spreading into Laos, Thailand, & so on. The operation also had other tasks such as bombing the Ho Chi Minh Trail to either destroy or slow down the flow of the NVA & Vietcong. The local indigenous forces were the Hmong (Miao), Thai mercenaries, Lao mercenaries, & so on. The operation slowed down the flow of logistics with the North Vietnamese & saved countless numbers of American lives. Once America pulled out, the indigenous forces which whomever did not manage to flee to Thailand were exterminated. Even today, there is a hills people insurgency still in Laos. Soldiers of the exiled Royal Lao Army can not return due to death threats. [/QUOTE]
