quote, laos is a nation of homosexuals. dwight eisenhower once said quoting a foreign a service officer. apparently this was no compliment coming from either man. despite the culturally bizarre prism through which eisenhower viewed the country, he left office in january of 1961, imploring kennedy to take the situation in laos extraordinary seriously and making clear that as far as he was concerned, u.s. national security depended on the independence of that faraway place. two months later, in march of 1961, the situation for the u.s. allied monarchy was dire, with north vietnam and chinese backed communist taking control of the central high plateau of the country, threatening the low lands that were the pathways to the country's capital and to neighboring thailand. kennedy did not know what to do. the united states was a charter member of the southeast asian treaty organization and as such had an obligation to defend the territorial integrity of a country most americans and even some presidents could not find on a map. amon

none of these brigades could be spared in laos. the backbone of the british military power in asia had in the british indian army, which by the end of world war ii, comprised of 2.5 million people. the largest volunteer army in the world. that army was gone. that went with india in 1947. britain had no real military power other than the navy in the pacific. and in asia. to the president, we don't have any troops. i know we signed this treaty, we cannot do this. there is no way. instead, mcmillan says we can offer you british moral and diplomatic support. that is not what kennedy wanted. for all practical purposes, seato was a dead letter for the british. they never plan to say this publicly. there were going to pretend they could do something because it had a deterrent effect. the british make clear right here to kennedy, we are never going to fight for these countries. if the united states of wished or south easts asia, mcmillan said, please go ahead. we won't criticize you at the u.n., but don't expect us to help you. this is wha

secret war in laos. with the assistance of the cia and the green berets, the mongol leader -- mung leader and 10 thousands soldiers were responsible for warding off the communist advance. the staggering cost of sacrifice during this. -- during this time is very important to know. throughout 13 years of fierce guerrilla warfare, estimates claim that one in fourhmong people died. some who died were teenagers. quite young. the circuit war entered a new phase in 1973 when the united states signed a peace accord with north vietnam. they evacuated all of the american military leaders from laos. 18,000 mung soldiers -- hmong soldiers were left behind. in 1975, some soldiers were airlifted out of laos. most hmong people were less fortunate. of the 10,000 who fled headquarters, only eight small portion were evacuated by the united states. thousands of hmong people were forced on a forced exodus to thailand. they journeyed at night to avoid capture by the communists. by 1979, nearly 30,000 hmong refugees attempted

these included refugees from vietnam, laos, and cambodia. i will talk about the crisis iat developed overseas, but will focus mostly on developments that took place here in the united states. the general public viewed southeast asian refugees. how southeast asian refugees were admitted and resettled. how southeast asian refugees themselves tell stories about their experience. i will say why the history of asian resettlement matters and i will conclude with discussion about how southeast asian americans today are trying on the refugee history to intervene in contemporary/public policy debates. any questions so far? let's begin with some background about refugee resettlement in the united states during the 20th century. 1940's, 1950's and 1960's, most refugees came from europe with the exception of cuban refugees. most were white or either jewish or christian. after thes period second world war, and during the a commitment to opposing communism really shaped how the united states determined which refugees to accept. during and after world war

le zuan and hanoi are using laos and cambodia. because technically those are neutral states and the u.s. is not supposed to be doing anything in those countries. so the u.s. would eventually start bombing the ho chi minh trail. but be condemned to violate the sovereignty of neutral states. both cambodia and laos allow north vietnam to use their territory for the sake of infiltrating troops and supplies into the south. so you've got images, like trucks, carrying supplies. and then troops slow by walking down the ho chi minh trail. typically it takes two months to go from the north to the south. depending on how intense the u.s. bombing is, it could take longer. the guys here last semester, one of the individuals had traveled down the ho chi minh trail at a very, very high point in the war, it took him six months to go from the north to the south. six months. because the bombing was so intense they had to zig-zag their way through laos and cambodia. so intense that they zigzag their way through laos and cambodia and at times through

this was a network of roads, running through neighboring laos and cambodia. that was used by more -- north vietnam to bring troops and supplies into the south. about the city, le duan was losing laos and cambodia because those were neutral states. the u.s. was not supposed to be doing anything on those countries. the u.s. was eventually bombing the [null] chi minh trail. but be can them to for -- be condemned for violating the sovereignty of neutral states. they allowed north vietnam to use their territory for the sake of infiltrating troops and supplies into this area. we have images. we of trucks carrying supplies and then troops slowly walking down the [null] chi minh trail. typically it took two months to go from the north down to the south. but depending on how intense the u.s. bombing was, it could take longer. we had these guys from vietnam, i don't know if you came and heard them. one of the individuals had traveled down the [null] chi minh trail at a very high point in the war. it took him six months to go from hanoi from the north to the south. six

when they're in less danger as i was in laos also comfortable there doing their job. so is challenging, but it paid off in the end. >> what would you describe i guess maybe probably in your book and maybe you can touch on it, and pat buchanan joined in the type of people that go into special projects. how did they raise their head or have their hand raised for them to go down there path if you are involved with, versus other divisions of the military. >> you heard the term shanghai? >> yes. even occur a special forces. what kind of training collection source did you go through to get into special projects? blackmail. you had to be a triple volunteer percival. you had to volunteer for special forces. he had to volunteer for vietnam and you had to volunteer to be in private. anytime you could quit. i mean, you had people that actually quit. to this day, there was no stain on their manhood or anything because this was about as high pressure as you can get. the only thing that comes close to a i think it's been over 70 because every day could be your last one. it is somet

cut ho chi minh trail in laos. the congress has said, tricky dick, you said you're getting out, no american ground forces will be used. you can use helicopters but they can't touch the ground. half of the arvn forces that go into laos are killed, wounded, or captured. nixon will proclaim this a victory of vietnamization. on the ground, it doesn't look like that. for the aviators, 107 u.s. helicopters shot down. 600 more damaged. the largest thing that shot the helicopters down was .47 millimeter. i figured i'd just tell you that. okay? make your day. so, let us talk about vietnamization. what's the goal? go ahead. >> the goal is a handoff. you guys now take the lead on this war. we will back away. >> okay. what else? that's the end goal. we're going to back up, as you stand up. sound familiar, huh? what else, jared? >> it called for training, a lot of train, like the advisory teams coming back to train the south vietnamese army to be able to take over. >> okay. so if you're looking at arvn, and you're being told by

military sprayed over twenty million gallons of herbicides like agent orange in to be at cambodia laos from sixty one to seven to ten years of the stuff age in order contains the chemical dioxin put in on the hat here now and explain how this works which accumulates in the fatty tissues this part of mammals me and was found by the world health organization to be get this highly toxic and can cause reproductive and developmental damage developmental problems damage the immune system interferes with hormones and also cause cancer wow more than thirteen million gallons of agent orange were used were used which amounted to almost two thirds of the total amount of herbicides used during the entire vietnam war all of that poison dumped on a country of people right and like just in vietnam just in vietnam is thirteen million gallons and you're talking about cambodia and laos and their people nor north korea. still that's you would still feel the effects and of course they have no go back to the worst of all they are and i believe their twisting kind of international start to get a row being h

just in vietnam just in vietnam is thirteen million gallons and you're talking about cambodia and laos and their people nor north korea. still that's you would still feel the effects and of course they have no go back to the worst of all they are then i believe their twisting kind of international star to get a row being held responsible for this yeah so there's just a moral moral quandary it's just a moral. in two thousand and four the vietnam association for the victims of agent orange filed a lawsuit against dow chemical and thirty manufacturers or all the manufacturers of agent orange in their various pieces so while the court agreed with the plaintiffs that the herbicide campaign that the agent orange spraying campaign was controversial it didn't tack to really support the contention that the use of agent orange violated a universally accepted norms and i explained how this works whoa this is because the norms such as those would go against international law or war crime don't necessarily prohibit the deployment of materials that are only secondarily harmful to humans so here's th

being and it's been bringing rain to the southwest to china an influence in the rain in vietnam and laos for the best part of a week it's going to do the same again it will probably disintegrate as it goes over land in the next two days and therefore the heaviest phase like to be in vietnam and then laos as well but the legacy rain is still there in southwest china and hong kong like you get as well and all this time you've just been watching over shanghai that's a tropical storm to you when it's way through make it becoming a tropical depression to be honest but the amount of rain one changes to the potential of at least two hundred millimeters i think so expect flooding along the sides of that part of the yangtze valley the concentration of rain in india recently though had some big showers in the north has been down towards carola huge amounts of rain as you've probably seen it's a news story worst flooding for one hundred years and the forecast doesn't improve things again from carola northwards that's where they likely rainey's on these heavy rain over the next day or so which means

this area near the border with laos was once rich an animal species but no longer many of the weapons that were used here contains dioxins which are known carcinogens. i thought. there used to be elephants and tigers here all sorts of species even rarer kinds of buffaloes than apes but after the bombing campaign they were all gone. by october nineteenth seventy four everything here it was. not a single living thing survived. is a lecturer and researcher at the university of agriculture and forestry in one day . he's been studying this region along the border with laos for years but the scope of the environmental damage is so great that he and his colleagues can scarcely come to grips with it. one of the local officials says that there used to be a u.s. air force base here. in the plains dropped agent orange in the surrounding area. this section covers about five and a half to tears. there's a really unpleasant smell here during thunderstorms and also when it's sunny. the local authorities suspect there's an agent orange storage dumped here. but the officials have no documents to prove

>> you also have sanctuary in north vietnam, laos, cambodia. you still have a northern and western flank that you can regroup, refit, and rheotac when you want to. >> so starting in the late fall of 1967, they come up with a new war winning strategy. it's ultimately the tet offensive. what is the goal behind it? what do they think is going to happen, if they get the battle they want, what's going to happen? >> the population rises up and joins their cause to overthrow the americans and the puppets. >> okay, keep going. >> in addition to that, to help collapse the south vietnamese government. >> okay. why do you think they're going to be able to pull this off? because again, you're looking for indicators, right? this just can't be, this is what i feel today. you know, like my daughters -- i shouldn't have said that. i'll pay for that later. this is what i feel today. so -- >> at that point, if the north koreans by attacking the tet offensive -- >> the north vietnamese. >> the north vietnamese. i'm half awake. the proves the americans can never h

circular nation which actually is over the water has been throwing rain from hong kong back towards laos and just on the screen here another one circulation of both tropical circulation is heading north into was shanghai again to start the wind the rain and it's repeating the process of what ten days ago so now that this thing still circulating suggests very heavy rain for northern vietnam and laos and the southwest corner of china that you'd think that would take most of the energy out of the atmosphere and you'd be right to some degree they have been if you shop showers to the south to the sort of y.c. but nothing much to the west of that low streaks of cloud though over the south of thailand and sumatra may well turn into something rather wet of a singapore of the next day or so in the showers might show themselves in borneo northern borneo but i think there are a rare event and frequent event the monsoon rain itself has been really pepping up recently in kerala and you see a circulation in addition the chances are with the slowly retreating monsoon you get rain anywhere in the centra

certainly during the same period, we're going to have bombing laos, specifically in that ho chi minh trail region, and then later in the war, an air war against cambodia. there's some more tonnage of bombs. and south vietnam proper. i mean, our ally, the one we're supposedly supposed to sustain, that's where most of our air power is really going, and that is also, think about it, big b-52s loaded, doing arc-like missions, doing close air support type missions down in the south. so, there's the bombing tonnage, all the air wars are going to do and this is in comparison. now, give us some idea of the effort being made in this conflict. long war. long campaign. so, the final thing, there's, again, a number of attacks. there's a major attack on the air base where the sappers go in, kill americans, injure a lot of other americans. this happens three days before the 1964 campaign. again, there's always talk about tit for tat, how do we stop te s support of this insurgency down in the south, and then february of '65, there's attacks on bases around pleiku in the middle of south vietnam, and

primarily through laos. so, you have got to stop that movement. >> the development that is happening in 1964, if we do a strategic air campaign, then there is another incident. there are a lot of small attacks. things are still happening. the insurgency is happening in the south. and then we get a situation in the gulf of tonkin, right at the salt -- shoulders of north vietnam, where patrol boats attack intelligence gathering ships there. i am not concerned about who is provoking what, i don't want to get into that discussion. here are some nice pictures of -- itself here are the vietnamese patrol boats coming off the coast that drew the attack, there were cries that there are two separate attacks. we now have the information that says, there was an attack, first attack. and that was seen as a retaliatory attack, not an aggressive attack by the north vietnamese but that second attack was supposed to happen on the fourth. it didn't happen. but that was some good information, this is what they used. what we li

name of the people of vietnam, in the name or,the people of east tim in the name of the people of laos- >> i would like to say to my colleagues and to our distinguished witnesses this morning that i have been a member of this committee for many years, and i've never seen anything as disgraceful and outrageous and despicable as the last demonstration that just know,lace about -- you you're going to have to shut up or i'm going to have you arrested. >> [inaudible] >> if we can't get the capitol hill police in here immediately. get out of here, you lowlife scum. in: that was senator mccain 2015. voice a heard your little time before that, talking about holding kissinger accountable for the people of laos and cambodia. close the question is, why would john mccain bring in henry kissinger as an expert to tell us how we should move forward with u.s. foreign-policy? for the time in the late 90's, john mccain threw his lot in with the project for the new american century and the neocons. john mccain has been looking towards people who see militarism and u.s. intervention and u.s. right to over

san antonio river and since trolls are best taken in good company we're joined by the lovely vietnam laos that i mean you know she's a local and loves the cultural diversity of her town. hi welcome to san antonio i'm down about is that if you know born and raised here in san antonio and i'm excited to share some of my favorite spots. we're at our first stop on the fender and turn your river walk fifteen miles of the river way that runs through downtown san antonio lined with restaurants and hotels and shops and lots of fun things to do you can even jump on the river barge that will take you on a tour. now let's go get a view from the top a bird's eye view of san antonio we're going up there. now we're on top of the tower of the americas built in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight to commemorate the world's fair with beautiful views one hundred seventy feet up in the air it's a great place to visit and it's a very special place for my husband and i because it's where he proposed to me many years ago. one of my favorite places to visit is the market square in downtown san antonio it is t

area of low pressure here at the moment probably having less direct impact on vietnam than it is in laos and miramar we're still seeing a lot of showers coming into coastal regions meanwhile you can see behind me that circulation that low pressure center is in fact john dari which has been around for a long time but it's moving into shanghai giving some heavy rain here so flooding is certainly possible for the south expect heavy showers in food and hong kong moving down into southeastern parts of asia and here for the philippines you see the sufferer images you've got a scattering of showers not a close shop across borneo at the moment so it does look as though it's going to be fairly wet here at times the philippines could scattered showers particularly heavy showers across northern areas. likely to stay largely dry same goes for lombok and then up through them late pincher germany good conditions for singapore and kuala lumpur but once you get into thailand say more central northern areas that looks as though it's going to be fairly wet at times across into south asia now and we've got

certainly during the same period we're going to have bombing in laos, andesquically in that ho chi minh trail region. later in the war, an air war against cambodia, there'se tonn. our ally, the one we're supposedly supposed to sustain, that's where most of our air power is really going. that's also, think about it, big b-52s loaded doing close air support, tight missions down in the south. so, there's the bombing tonnage that all the air wars are going to do, and this is in comparison. give us some idea of the effort being made in this conflict. a long war, a long campaign. so, the final thing -- again, there's a number of attacks. there's a major attack on the air base at ben hai. this happens three days before the 1964 campaign. there's always talk about tit for tat. how do we stop the support of this insurgency down in south? then in february of '65 there's attacks on bases around pleiku and pretty much in the middle of south vietnam and this attack of 7 february is kind of last straw for the johnson administration. the idea that we're not going to do tit for tat. we have to start to

i went on to thailand, to laos, to a whole bunch of countries. so people should not misinterpret withdrawal from the particularly potential agreement as withdrawal from the region. nothing could be further from the truth. and you've seen, the president was in danang for the conference. everybody has been out there, secretary of state, secretary of defense. so, if anything, there's much more intensified diplomatic, military, and commercial activity than there ever has been. secretary gutierrez: do you worry about arsep, the osian plus three or four and japan and eu moving forward? is that a concern? does that put any -- is there an implication to how fast we move given that others are moving as well? secretary ross: well, at the end of the day, our relationships tend to end up being bilateral. we have indicated, the president has indicated on many occasions, a willingness to enter into more agreements with countries in the region, so it's a question of format rather than a question of desire or substance. secretary gutierrez: so you would see more

we take away with a two zero zero zero zero zero year way to live it's a little cool laos. decides. to do well in that they're getting is. going to be made by. people most of them from office on the ground who don't eat any q. in my name is the economy now. and my by you to name is peter law review board part of the world from for the sake of god this time we have run into god's marriage with even the good wife to go on that obviously. god uses for her to get. lost to the whom he does believe personally he don't need to go except a lot of them all no way except media matters although i'm delighted to. read the number that the prisoner list was only a bona fide this order for their naked bodies in the. desert with them out i just think it will modify the hair in love with it and then. move on. to life because of him the members. are given again either you. were was cool maybe. you think that he's getting it was. wrong in not only. going to grow. old that will say well no mater the. school tugging on a. pickup. truck was sneak up by. weird know. why. given is evolving a month you migh

>> they were attacking cambodia, laos and north vietnam. met westmoreland for all of his strategy still has to work within the box of limited war. officially no laos, cambodia, no attacks in the north vietnam in the dmv. what is that matter? >> that's where on military retreating to, for the military can bring in -- >> what else have you figured out about these emerging forces? >> if you can't beat them toe to toe, he wants the u.s. to have firepower. >>> we have fire poor -- firepower superiority. if you stand toe to toe against the americans, you can hurt them but at the end of the day, you will get flattened. so, let's talk about something. how important is it for you to understand how you were doing and were? at any given point in time? that will assess your further actions and what we talk about operational approach, we are talking about branch plants. different things come from that point we need to know we are actually at within the success or failures of the conflict. and we need to know the progression so we can see the end result

we told them from the outset, we won't go to laos, cambodia, to the north. they can capitalize it and we lose initiative. >> on that scale, one loss in between, where are you militarily? militarily, you are closer on the ground, you know this, but to rouse out the remains of the nba, to clear out the villages of the vietcong, what do you need? >> to go across the border. >> you don't necessarily need to do that, right? what do i need? i need more time. >> to seal off the population centers -- >> why do i need to do that? i need more people. so earl wheeler, the army chief of staff, prods westmoreland and doesn't take a lot of prodding to go back to the president and say, give me 205,000 more troops and i will seal the deal. i will finally get us to military and political victory. is he right? we don't know, right? is this justification? logical. >> we need the american soldiers to secure a massive population spread over the south. >> so when westmoreland and wheeler ask for 205,000 more troops for vietnam to seal the deal, was johnson safe? >> it is impossib

zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero way to live it's a little cool laos. i'd soon. change their stripes to do well because they're getting to. where i want to be made by. people most of them from office on the ground who don't. eat dinner any q. and my name is the economy now. and my by you to name is these headlines we're born part of world from but a bonus abroad this time we have run into god's message with even the good wife to go on that obviously. god uses force to get by last with the groom quickly he does believe those men who don't need to accept them saw them all no way except media matters who will go and go live. and learn and then read the numbers of the prisoner. was really i don't know if i had to order a bug or negative.

like fashion that laos finally laugh loudly no not that i want that money not. only slightly india is good it is. not all that. well as. well. nothing. in august two thousand and seventeen. the myanmar government reported that. the. salvation army had attacked. the police post and government offices simul pena slee the young mommy was also already in place and rakhine state they had already brought in reinforcements to be able to deal with that so the question is how did they know to me a lot of these reports on not credible this was a good time to. try to move. out of me i'm on. the. this point of the media tour around my and the border between the country and bangladesh for not acting there again why joining in the all people. said ben is seven hundred thousand people. parting of ways european leaders talk of a future without the u.s. what is in store for the transatlantic alliance and much much more on this edition of crossfire. we. have any. but the best honest i don't mean. joining us as you know part of is you're not. you're not just i mean what almost wha

always will be two zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero way to live it's a little cool laos. just. to do well in that they're getting is. going to be made by. people most of them from office on the ground who don't lose any cue you know my name is the economy now. and mighty by you to name is. really born part of world from when the stakes are brought this time we have run into guys marriage with even the good wife to go on that obviously. guy do you want to get why you lost to the groom's way he does believe. in that he don't need a little except from a lot of them don't know where the media. will go i'm gonna live. and learn there had dug in there that the president. was really i don't know if i had to order their naked body in to. them out i. think it will mark the. group and then to meet with t. on on. or the wife because the family members. are given again the day you. were school maybe. you think that he's getting a rolls. in not only. going to grow. old that will say well no mom i have her own. school toggle maybe. take up. really you know. why don't we do. communities
