If you go thee make sure you have a guide you can trust. You should also try to find out wwhat the Political Climate is as you are leaving home for the airport. You could get there and not get back. As for the Vietnam War the U.S. Troops on the ground were nto supposed to go into Laos but the Air Force and our Helicopters and Gunships did supply help to our Viet Allies when they tried to close down the Ho Chi Minh Trail with operations into Laos, to cut off the supply lines to the North. You can read about this by looking it up. And Yes there was a lot of unexploded ordinance dropped on the country. Women and kids keep finding it every year and dieing as a result of it. There are a lot of other problems there so you travel at your own risk, Just ask the State Department. There are thousands of soldiers still missing from the Vietnam War. Some may still be in prisons but aremost likely dead by now. They couldn't possibly have lived through the kind of torture John MCCain endured in a few short years compared to what would now be 45 plus years for some.
