3 Remember Laos and North Vietnam? IUC, After the war the Laotians got pissy when the winning North Vietnamese starting purging foreigners -- so Laos decided their guerilla war prowess was unbeatable. Problem, guerilla war doesn't work very well when (a) the other side (NV) is willing to "go Mongol on your ass" and (b) the NVA had all of the equipment they captured from South Vietnam, but mostly (a). Then China 'intervened' because Laos was their client state. Popcorn time!
