I am a Hmong-American citizen. My grandfather and many close relatives fought in the Secret War as American allies. What this video didn't cover was the negative repercussion against the Hmong people (and neighboring hill tribes) after the CIA pulled out of Laos. The title of this video is misleading because many people (men, women, children, babies) were left behind to be tortured and executed by the Pathet Lao. It was a mass genocide and so many innocent lives were lost because they wanted to help the US. The only weapons that the Hmong had to defend themselves against the Pathet Lao were what was left of the weapons that the CIA had left behind. Those who were fortunate enough to survive fled to other countries as refugees. I was a child born in one of the refugee camps in Thailand.
As I'm Thai myself, after I was read this, I feel guilty also, the soldier that fight beside US is Thai's soldier also, after the US release, Thailand didn't help hmong too much as we can, we are sorry about it
You are right Vue. When Americans left Laos, they did so in a big hurry. Fortunately, many Hmong were able to escape to Thailand and, then, to the US. I have worked with Hmong and have more respect for them than I do for my own race. The men are loyal and the women are very strong willed. You have a friend here!
They only help gvp, his family, and his top soldiers. The rest of hmong say bye bye. Lucky ones made it to thailand the rest die or stay in laos.
The hill tribes is not only the Hmong but Iu Mien. The Iu Mien people also fought along side of the Americans during the Secret War.
True but no General only Hmongs
An even smaller minority than the hmong.
fact
They need to shed some light on the Hmong people
We are the HMONG people who help thousands of Americans lives fight and get away. Thanks to us thousands lives where save. The HMONG!!! I'm proud to be Hmong and helping my fellow Americans!
@BTS ARMY koreaboo XD gtfo
Same
Proud of the Hmongs who fought for the Pathet Lao and not the Americans.
When you come to america you get hated on and beaten.
Talk about a suicide mission. Only 2 guys charged with the task of disrupting their operations... Often not able to have weapons.. Against an armed militia. And they improvised without weapons. And this badass made it through that and got home.
Yes…
Any way to find this full documentary
What a boss!
When does this air on Nat Geo?
Wow
The hill tribes of Laos = The Hmong. They bravely fought along side the Americans during that secret war.
the Hmongs were the majority but it wasn't exclusively Hmongs...there were Mien, Lahu and Tai tribals too that made up the forces, that's why there are also Mien and Lahu people in America.
I'm Canadian but ready to help my next door neighbor.
@National Geographic: What became of this hero's partner?
He forgot to mention that the Americans eventually lost the war and abandoned their Hmong allies. Just a minor inconvenient fact, I guess.
My uncle used to fight here.
Southern Vietnam were allied with the us fighting against the northern Vietnamese
america
We won the battle, but we lost the war due to political stability…
