and were their deaths of any value.....?
there are many sources out there, i.e.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hmong_people, but can we go back to account for those that died during that secret war.
according to the hmong elders, we lost nearly two generations of our people for that war. and of course many still debates whether we have chosen the right side being with GVP and with the current LPDR government.
for some of us, being on the GVP side has elevated us onto the world stage of modern civilizations such as America, France, etc.
