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.
