Very cool. Nakon Phanom RTAF was all about the Trail. |

A very good photo series on the area, but this comment kinda made me think.. "Between 1964 and 1973 the US bombed Laos continuously, despite Laos being a peaceful, neutral country and despite the US never openly declaring war on Laos". If Laos was a peaceful, neutral country why were there so many communist weapons of war in the country along the trail. Doesn't allowing a foriegn military force to use your roadway make you not neutral? |

Doesn't allowing a foriegn military force to use your roadway make you not neutral? As I recall, being unable to control your borders -- in this case, allowing the NVA to use the trail -- is one of those things that establishes that you don't really "own" the territory. |

Must have been an interesting trip. |

Interesting read…… The photos of some of those ERW made me wince though. The interior shot of that T-54/55 hull was novel. Metal detectors are obviously a booming item along the Trail.
