Privileged ignorance
Talk about not knowing. I live in the country that did it. I was living in that country when they did it. I knew the US bombed Laos. I had no idea it was so bad.
From the BBC:
Laos is the most bombed country on earth. The US dropped 2.4 million tonnes of bombs on it during the Vietnam War – more than the allies dropped on Germany and Japan combined in World War II.
The photo essay shows what Laotians have done with the litter of war.

I found out those boats are made from drop casings, not from really small plane fuselages. Must get in there and change the alt tag . . . .
