"Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened." --Sir Winston Churchill
The arrest and persecution of Gen. Vang Pao, for plotting the overthrow of communists in Laos is a national disgrace...and by the by, the personification of hypocrisy, duplicity and brain flatulence.
In the wake of the American withdrawal from Vietnam the politics was openly considered a geopolitical goat rope and selective memory loss and denial became policy.
The 30,000-plus Hmong who assisted the Americans with blood and unbridled loyalty were discarded like a Bill Clinton paramour...used like a tissue and thrown away to the wind and weather.
