Clearing unexploded U.S. bombs in Laos. “Between 1964 and 1973, US warplanes rained more than two million tons of bombs on Laotian villages and countryside to try and cut off the Vietnamese army’s supply trail.” Shame on all the “heroes” who dropped those bombs in the first place. Cursed be Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon and their war on Laos. And of course, the whole Vietnam War was a crime against the Vietnamese people.
