I have yet to see it 13 years later.
I decided I should try to push out this concept so many other fallout fans would re imagine one of the most interesting and underrated locations in the Fallout universe.
The Glowing Sea? this is his father. fallout.fandom.com/wiki/The_GlowCall of Duty: Black Ops (Vietnam Campaign) vs Real Life HistoryKabutoes2023-01-18 | I saw some videos on this and felt like they haven't extensively covered some thing so obvious.
Topics: Black Ops 1: Russians in Laos Black Ops Cold War: The CIA race to evacuate nuclear reactor in Da Lat before North Vietnam's Army reaches it first
Russia has uncovertly supplied air drops and air lifts to North Vietnam, Pathet Lao, and Neutralist Lao in their fight against the US-backed Royal Lao Army.
There were hardly Soviet combat troops in South Vietnam (or North Vietnam), but the idea that they were in Laos like in the Black Ops 1 campaign sounded ridiculous, but this real world parallel just made me think about it for a second.
Also Fractured Jaw plan wasn't that interesting, it was just Westmoreland spitballing a MacArthur type plan and had people in Congress think that's the dumbest thing in existence.
ON THE OTHER HAND, the race to evacuate Southeast Asia's first nuclear power plant's vital assets WHILE EVACUATING VIETNAMESE CIVILIANS before the NVA reach it first on March 30, 1975 with Kissinger's acknowledgment, is insanely more interesting.
It's not a nuclear bomb, but it's close haha, not sure if Treyarch got the idea from it but it's a very interesting parallel, I didn't even know South Vietnam had a nuclear powerplant.

The log book entry reads: “On March 30, 10:45am, after landing, the co-pilot refused to enter the taxiing runway, where many refugees were waiting.”
Refugees flooded the airport. They were fleeing the approaching North Vietnamese, and looking for help from the US. The scientists wanted to help. But they were overruled.
Another entry reads: “The Pentagon would not authorize carrying refugees on the return flight to Saigon after our equipment was unloaded.”
And in following entries: “Ambassador Graham Martin said: no refugees out — no mission.”
“Blow up the reactor.”
Ambassador Martin insisted on transporting the refugees, and urged Pentagon officials to allow it.
The log said: “Flash message sent to Pentagon. In 90 minutes, approval was received.”
Miller says defense officials then decided against dynamiting the reactor. “We recommended against it because the spread of radioactivity wouldn’t have been a good idea,” he says. “I thought it would be a big propaganda tool for communists. So that idea, as far as I knew, was dropped as not being reasonable.”Call of Duty: Black Ops (Vietnam) Campaign vs Real Life History Part 1 #vietnam #cod #blackopsKabutoes2023-01-15 | At War in the Shadow of Vietnam by Castle, Timothy CIA War in Laos 1955-1975 (CIA document)

At the beginning of April 1975, Phnom Penh, one of the last remaining strongholds of the Khmer Republic, was surrounded by the Khmer Rouge and totally dependent on aerial resupply through Pochentong Airport.
With a Khmer Rouge victory imminent, the United States government evacuated US nationals and allied Cambodians on 12 April 1975. On 17 April, the Khmer Republic government evacuated the city, intending to establish a new government center close to the Thai border to continue resistance. Later that day, the last defences around Phnom Penh were overrun and the Khmer Rouge occupied Phnom Penh.
Captured Khmer Republic forces were taken to the Olympic Stadium where they were executed; senior government and military leaders were forced to write confessions prior to their executions. The Khmer Rouge ordered the evacuation of Phnom Penh, emptying the city except for expatriates who took refuge in the French Embassy until 30 April, when they were transported to Thailand.
People say the Vietnam War (Second Indochina War) has a soundtrack, but the French Indochina War doesn't. I beg to differ.
Guerre d'Indochine Chiến tranh Đông Dương
La Sale Guerre - "The Dirty War" the First Indochina War described by French Leftists The government of France forbade the use of metropolitan recruits, fearing that that would make the war more unpopular than it already was. Instead, French professional soldiers and units of the French Foreign Legion were augmented with colonial troops, including Moroccan, Algerian, Tunisian, Laotian, Cambodian, and Vietnamese ethnic minorities.

During the 1950s, the French military built a military airfield near the Laotian town of Tchepone. The airfield was located about 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) northwest of the village on the south bank of the Nam Se Kok River. At 1,128 metres (3,701 ft) in length, the dirt airstrip was the largest in Savannakhet Province, and the second largest airfield of any in the nearby South Vietnamese provinces. The Royal Lao Army ceased defending the airfield in 1961, and it fell into North Vietnamese hands until the infamous Operation Lam Son 719.
Operation Lam Son 719 or 9th Route – Southern Laos Campaign (Vietnamese: Chiến dịch Lam Sơn 719 or Chiến dịch đường 9 – Nam Lào) was a limited-objective offensive campaign conducted in the southeastern portion of the Kingdom of Laos. The campaign was carried out by the armed forces of South Vietnam between 8 February and 25 March 1971, during the Vietnam War. The United States provided logistical, aerial and artillery support for the operation, but its ground forces were prohibited by law from entering Laotian territory. The objective of the campaign was the disruption of a possible future offensive by the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN), whose logistical system within Laos was known as the Ho Chi Minh Trail (the Truong Son Road to North Vietnam).
By launching a pre-emptive attack against the PAVN's long-established logistical system, the American and South Vietnamese high commands hoped to resolve several pressing issues. A quick victory in Laos would bolster the morale and confidence of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN), which was already high in the wake of the successful Cambodian Campaign of 1970. It would also serve as proof that South Vietnamese forces could defend their nation in the face of the continuing Vietnamization withdrawal of U.S. ground combat forces from the theater. The operation would be, therefore, a test of that policy and the ARVN's capability to operate effectively by itself.
However, due to PAVN and the Viet Cong's (VC) intelligence and preparation beforehand, an inability by the political and military leaders of the U.S. and South Vietnam to face military realities, and poor execution, Operation Lam Son 719 collapsed when faced by the determined resistance of a skillful foe. The campaign demonstrated continued deficiencies in ARVN military leadership and that the best units of the ARVN could be defeated by the PAVN, destroying the confidence that had been built up over the previous three years.
By early 1971, PAVN troop strength in the Base Area 604 area was estimated by U.S. intelligence at 22,000 men: 7,000 combat troops, 10,000 personnel in logistical and support units and 5,000 Pathet Lao, all under the command of the newly created B-70 Corps.
There were differing views on what the expected reaction of the PAVN to the offensive might be. Abrams believed that unlike Cambodia, the North Vietnamese would stand and fight for the Laotian Base Areas. As early as 11 December he had reported to Admiral McCain that:
strong infantry, armor, and artillery formations were in southern Laos...formidable air defenses were deployed...the mountainous, jungle-covered terrain was an added liability. Natural clearings for helicopter landing zones were scarce and likely to be heavily defended. The bulk of the enemy's combat units were in the vicinity of Tchepone and [PAVN] could be expected to defend his base areas and logistics centers against any allied operation
Press reports of the operation leaked almost as soon as the attack began, alerting North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces. Logistical planning by the South Vietnamese and the U.S. was poor. Nearly 8,000 ARVN troops were lost, and more than 100 U.S. helicopters. Nearly US$1 million in military equipment was abandoned as ARVN forces fled Laos in a near-rout on 24 March.
It is not clear whether Xépôn (Tchepon) was still occupied by the North Vietnamese troops at the time. U.S. officials reported large quantities of food, ammunition, and other supplies cached in and around Xépôn, and that ARVN troops and U.S. aircraft destroyed them. But other reports indicate that, while supply caches were destroyed, Xépôn had already been abandoned by the North Vietnamese in favor of other routes.
Operation Lam Son 719 destroyed Xépôn and left it deserted.
During the Laotian Civil War, the Pathet Lao captured Xépôn in early May 1975. The Pathet Lao toppled the constitutional monarchy of Laos on December 2, 1975. In the years after the new government took power, a new town using the name Xépôn was built on the site of the old French airfield. By 1998, the new town had a population of about 35,600.The Incessant Use of Tree People MemesKabutoes2022-09-14 | The Vietnam War was waged over rice

But the 93rd nationalist army division was forced into northern Burma and now, after 28 nomadic years of fighting and drug trafficking, the nationalist Chinese soldiers and their families at last seem to be accepting their fate. The Australian Broadcasting Commission's Gary Beat reports.
"The 93rd Kuomintang division has been arousing hostility in this part of the world ever since it was driven out of China, by the Communists 28 years ago. Four obvious reasons, no nation wanted a fully armed and very independent army division within its borders and certainly, over the years, these fears have been well founded. The 93rd division is now located in 11 separate villages throughout the remote ???hills of northwestern Thailand. The Thai government has banned foreigners from entering the camps because of what it describes as the delicate situation. In fact the ABC was the first foreign news organisation ever to film inside this settlement about 900 kilometres (560 miles) north of Bangkok. After year os??? heavy involvement in the opium trade suspicion has become a way of life for the former Kuomintang soldiers and their families. It was the drug trafficking that finally saw Burmese forces drive the 93rd division into Thailand in 1956. Altogether there are now more than 11,000 of the Chinese living in Thailand. An extremely high birth rate has ensured their survival even though many of the former soldiers have been killed over the years. Most still dream of one day returning to China. In fact, it was this dream which originally led to involvement in the opium trade as a means of raising funds for survival and re-armament. Part of the antagonism towards the 93rd divisions due to their strong sense of independence... All of these children continue to speak Chinese.... few can speak Thai. Only recently has the Thai government achieved real success in confiscating the division's weapons. But, because the Kuomintang are fiercely anti-communist and because their camps are situated in communist areas Thailand has re-issued many of the Chinese with light weapons for self defence. Very few young men were in evidence in this settlement near the Burmese border. Questions as to their whereabouts received evasive answers. The division's involvement in the opium trade is officially a thing of the past. Certainly in Burma and Thailand the word Kuomintang has been synonymous with drug drafficking. Their leaders say all they now desire is peace and security."

A mule train, led by Burmese militia, carrying 16 tons of opium crossed into Laos to Ban Khwan, where they were attacked by rival drug smugglers from the Chinese Nationalists' Third and Fifth Armies. The intended recipient of the shipment, Royal Lao Army General Ouane Rattikone, bombed both sides while moving in troops to sweep the battlefield. With both Burmese militia and Nationalist Chinese defeated and expelled from Laos, the Lao general confiscated the opium for himself.
"...In late July 1967 a battle took place at Ban Khwan, Laos, located on the Mekong River. Some Kuomintang (KMT)5 units and some Shan were involved, and so eventually were the Royal Lao Armed Forces. In their tangle with the Shan and KMT forces, the Lao used a paratroop battalion supported by gunboats on the Mekong and unleashed T-28 air strikes, making this the best combined-arms operation to be mounted by Lao conventional forces during my tour in Laos." - Ted Shackley CIA
When the Chinese 93rd Army Division left Indochina in 1946 to Yunnan, their stay in China would not last, prompting them to go in the same areas they once occupied in SEA. With the CIA, under UN pressure to remove the Chinese Nationalist (Kuomintang) 93rd Division to Taiwan in 1960, the remnants that stayed in the Golden Triangle between Laos, Thailand, China, and Burma, continued their war against the Communists via Opium trade.
However, their interests crossed with many other factions in the area, ultimately tying themselves up with the Second Indochina War. Pro Southern allies, such as The Kingdom of Laos, were in desperate need of funding for their war effort in the so called Secret War. Burma too, divided by civil war, had emerged drug lords such as Kuhn Sa who were trained by the very men he was fighting.
"This battle was another scene out of the Terry and the Pirates comic strip. What happened to get these different elements into a two- or three-way firefight that resulted in a reported 150 to 160 dead, a loss of precious equipment for the Shan and the KMT, and, more importantly, the disappearance of around fifteen to twenty tons of opium? We never found out. Some in the media claimed that this was a classic turf battle."

Back in Fall 2008, when I was in the 4th grade, I remember reading a magazine; Time (for kids) seeing a US Marine on the cover with an M4. I don't remember the topic of it but I always thought it was impossible, unthinkable, to say American troops can easily be defeated by a bunch of dudes with rags and flip flops. Those were the last days of the Bush era.
It's been a been a year since the Fall of Kabul, a day that opened so many scars in American history. I dreaded the day of the anniversary because months after it I still cannot believe it happened. People thought it was going to be like Iraq where we would come back, but not this time, this time was different.
In 2019, my Army National Guard unit got an offer to help an air cav unit in Afghanistan; I volunteered. It never came to be because the company commander needed numbers for that year's annual training. After August 2021, I regretted not being able to go. Maybe I should have joined the active Army and got in, all my friends at basic did. But now with each month passing by and hearing the stories of those who went and learning about how the United States had no plan, no idea what they were doing, and what their exit strategy is, it made me think of all the lives that have been wasted on this conflict initially started from us being attacked and ending an era while entering a new one. We accomplished one of our main objectives in taking down the man responsible, but yet we stayed there, for another whole decade.
I thought about how much historical authenticity I would have being on the few to go to a country that no would soon longer exist, something not too unlike my family who had fled to America two years following the Fall of Saigon, leaving my grandfathers who fought for the South behind. But the Vietnam War was much different; it was two sovereign nations fighting guerrilla and conventional warfare with an invisible line that marked each respective country. Afghanistan was one country torn apart by itself, but with the similar fashion of Vietnam with outside forces using neutral land to stage unmanageable offensives. I thought of how much it would hurt me if I did go on that deployment knowing what happened after the fact. Maybe it was a good thing we never went.

This conventional invasion (the largest invasion since 300,000 Chinese troops had crossed the Yalu River into North Korea during the Korean War) was a radical departure from previous North Vietnamese offensives. The offensive was designed to achieve a decisive victory, which even if it did not lead to the collapse of South Vietnam, would greatly improve the North's negotiating position at the Paris Peace Accords.
The U.S. high command had been expecting an attack in 1972 but the size and ferocity of the assault caught the defenders off balance, because the attackers struck on three fronts simultaneously, with the bulk of the North Vietnamese army. This first attempt by the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam) to invade the south since the Tet Offensive of 1968, became characterized by conventional infantry–armor assaults backed by heavy artillery, with both sides fielding the latest in technological advances in weapons systems.
In the I Corps Tactical Zone, North Vietnamese forces overran South Vietnamese defensive positions in a month-long battle and captured Quảng Trị city, before moving south in an attempt to seize Huế.

Fighting the Communist Chinese and the Burmese is hard enough, but now the UN is against them. General Li Mi really thought keeping this front open in South Western China wasn't going cause international controversy and keep Taiwan safe.
Even though the Burmese won, this is just a little taste of the rude awakening that is to come to Communist China, when they will betray their ally in Vietnam in 1979 through jungle warfare.
A decade before they were fighting alongside each other against the Japanese, now in 1951, there's British uniform and equipment fighting Chinese uniform and equipment.
Like the Korean War, the Chinese and Americans fought alongside against the Japanese in Burma turn their guns on each other.
Such a strange moment, yet it makes sense.
The PLA Chinese Communists who have been fighting these Chinese Nationalist guerrillas from the Civil War, teamed up with a divided Burma (with socialist leanings) to push the Nationalist Chinese off their country because they feel like they are being squatted on (and also against the CIA funding their war as part of a Cold War Proxy move through selling opium there)
Two French teachers think making a statement over their former colonial subjects wasn't going to get them beat up.
Two young Frenchmen narrowly escaped death at the hands of an outraged mob in Saigon today (Saturday) after they had climbed atop a monument to South Vietnamese marines and waved a Vietcong flag.
It was lunchtime when the two men, both 26-year-old schoolteachers, climbed the monument which is in the heart of Saigon.
Crowds began gathering and soon of them began stoning the two men who held up their hands to ward off the missiles.
Then a bystander climbed the monument and ripped down the Communist flag while another argued with and threatened one of the Frenchmen.
Soon afterwards, apparently at the behest of two plainclothes policemen, the men came down. One tumbled from the plinth and the mob set upon him, kicking him and beating him with stones and sticks until police finally intervened.
A government spokesman said the two Frenchmen were now in police custody and would be charged under a section of the constitution which outlaws all form of Communist activity.

It was September 2, 2010 when Minecraft Alpha was on a Free Weekend. I happened to see “X’s Adventures in Minecraft” pop up on my Youtube homepage and became mesmerized by it. After a marathon of catching up and laying on my bed with my shitty Hp laptop, I downloaded the game. I made an account with a joke name and played this world.
When I watched X play Minecraft, I looked at Minecraft as a game that had a beginning and an end; a classic linear story that you must procedurally follow its steps in order to survive. But to my disappointment, it was not. It was a game that creates a new world from a blank slate. Each episode I had ideas in my head of what to craft (because I had no idea what was craftable, I thought mine carts were steel boats!) such as trapdoors for holes since making doors would force you to make a whole structure around it. However, that wasn’t present until 3 years later, an eternity for a 7th grader. It was terrifying and exciting to have my own world, but I still much preferred to play the world, the game that X played.
When I started out in my world, I spawned on a beach and began to punch my first tree. I gathered resources: wood, coal, and stone. Alas, I was too slow, I couldn’t make my house on time. The terror of the night in this un-liberated land full of monsters that will show no mercy pushed me to dig a hole in a cave. No torches; no light. It was cold, embarrassing, and scary. This was not the experience I expected. I dug a small slit which now became the front window of my house. Dry Hands - C418 started to play as I gazed into the moon. I knew now, I am ready for the exciting, unforgettable experience that was ahead of me.
As I played I realized it became more than just gathering resources and surviving. Once I made a house I wondered: “was there a story to all of this?” What is the end goal really? As I made my bed room, I looked over the foggy 10 fps hills behind my house where a creeper was wandering. I looked at my stone sword and thought: “I must be a character, washed up ashore on an island like Robinson Crusoe, in the middle of the northern Indian Ocean, temperate and alone. I don’t know what my mission is, but I know now I must liberate the evil from this land that has become my Haven from the ravages of the nuclear world I came from.:” The postulation of framing a purpose from a misunderstanding of how the game was made led to me creating my own story; a story unlike any created for Minecraft later on.
When I saw Minecraft: Story Mode, I thought “That’s not my Minecraft Story Mode”. When I played the “Full Game” of Minecraft, the ending was disappointing to me as someone who played the game that had a blank slate. And that was when it occurred to me that that was what made it so magical to me. It wasn’t just that it was the first time playing it that got my nostalgia, but just the premise of an open endless world full of mystery. A sandbox that forces you to survive. A game that was made without an ending but with a concept of one. A game that had updates without telling you what it was. A game that forces you to make your own idea of a story. A game that felt like an escape from the struggle that we all dealt with: growing up.

naruto uzamaki chronicles 2 i think it was a shadow clone chakra glitchSouth Vietnam: War-Time Economy Creates Booming Market For Japanese Goods (1971)Kabutoes2022-05-29 | United States military and aid spending in South Vietnam over the past few years has created a booming market for imported consumer goods - but they have mostly come from Japan, not the United States.
The purchasing power of the Vietnamese has increased, but the money has been spent to a large extent on the cheap and attractive goods of the Japanese, Japanese motor-cycles and radios are the most conspicuous of these goods in the teeming capital, Saigon.
The current crisis for the value of the dollar, and the Japanese refusal to re-value the yen, can only make this state of affairs continue to Japan's advantage. Film from the U.S. National Broadcasting Company.
SYNOPSIS: The wartime economy of South Vietnam has created booming market for Japanese goods. Most Vietnamese households have at least one or two Japanese appliances. There are about three million Japanese radios, and half a million Japanese T.V. sets in Vietnam.
The Japanese have sold an estimated one million motor-cycle to a nation whose population is only seventeen million. Even something as Vietnamese as the Ausein, the traditional garment of the women, has been influenced by the Japanese.
They have sold the ladies of South Vietnam on the idea of wearing synthetic fabrics, made in Japan. Much of the business boom has been a product of U.S. Government investment. U.S. military and aid spending have increased the purchasing power of the Vietnamese who are buying more and more consumer goods, but the goods are coming mainly from Japan. The Vietnamese are complaining that while Japan is getting a lot of money out of Vietnam, it isn't doing much in return. The Japanese Government is beginning to respond to the complaints.
The Japanese Government loaned the South Vietnamese Government 4 1/2 million dollars to built a new electric power station in Saigon. Japanese engineers are providing technical assistance for the project, and equipment for the plant will come from Japan. Japanese industry is also making some investments in Vietnam. This assembly plant producing cultivate machines for farmers is a joint venture of Japanese and Vietnamese businessman. The plant employs 100 Vietnam workers, and imports all the parts for the cultivators from Japan.
The Vietnamese hope the Japanese won't take their profits and run. The more optimistic young are learning to speak Japanese, because they feel that Japan will be an important post-war ally. Some of them say Japan was destroyed by war and Japanese did a marvellous job of rebuilding their nation. Maybe they can help the South Vietnamese build Vietnam.
PRESIDENT NGUYEN VAN THIEU OF SOUTH VIETNAM LEFT SEOUL, THE SOUTH KOREAN CAPITAL, FOR TAIWAN YESTERDAY STILL FLATLY REFUSING TO EVEN CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY OF A COMMUNIST COALITION GOVERNMENT IN SAIGON. DURING HIS FOUR-DAY STATE VISIT HE MADE IT CLEAR, IN A SERIES OF HARD-HITTING SPEECHES, THAT HIS COUNTRY WOULD OPPOSE COMMUNISM TO THE LAST.
AT A PRESS CONFERENCE SHORTLY BEFORE LEAVING SEOUL FOR TAIWAN, PRESIDENT THIEU WAS ASKED IF HE WOULD EVER ACCEPT A COALITION OF THE NATIONAL LIBERATION FRONT AND THE NORTH IF IT WAS A MADE A CONDITION OF PEACE. THE 46-YEAR-OLD HEAD OF STATE REPLIED: ON JUNE THE 8TH, PRESIDENT THIEU IS DUE TO MEET U.S. PRESIDENT NIXON AT MIDWAY ISLAND, IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN, AND HE USED HIS FOUR-DAY VISIT TO LINE-UP SUPPORT FOR THE FORTHCOMING VISIT. WHILE HE MADE THE USUAL PROTOCOL VISITS TO FACTORIES, THE REAL IMPORT OF HIS TRIP CAME FROM HIS MEETINGS WITH SOUTH KOREAN PRESIDENT PARK, WHO IS STRONGLY ANTI-COMMUNIST. BOTH MEN AND INTENT ON SLOWING DOWN WHAT THEY FEEL TO BE UNNECESSARY HASTE BY WASHINGTON TO MAKE CONCESSIONS AT THE PARIS PEACE TALKS.
THE JOINT COMMUNIQUE ISSUED BY THE TWO PRESIDENTS PUT FORWARD THE POSITION WHICH PRESIDENT THIEU IS EXPECTED TO TAKE AT MIDWAY. THE TWO MEN CALLED FOR THE VIGOROUS FIGHTING OF THE CONFLICT WHILE THE PARIS TALKS GO ON; THEY REFUSED TO RECOGNISE THE NATIONAL LIBERATION FRONT, AND THEY ARE STRONGLY OPPOSED TO ANY UNILATERAL TROOP WITHDRAWAL. TROOPS OF SOUTH VIETNAMESE ALLIES IN THE CONFLICT, THEY SAY, MAY BE PULLED OUT ONLY AFTER NORTH VIETNAM DOES THE SAME, AND THEN THEIR DEPARTURE MUST BE AGREED TO BY ALL THE TROOP-CONTRIBUTING NATIONS.
PRESIDENT THIEU LEFT SEOUL YESTERDAY FOR TAIWAN WHERE HE IS EXPECTED TO GET FURTHER MORAL SUPPORT FROM THE KUOMINTANG.
Background: THE PHILIPPINE PRESIDENT FERDINAND E. MARCOS HAS ANNOUNCED THAT THE PHILIPPINE CIVIC ACTION GROUP, WHICH HAS BEEN WORKING MAINLY IN THE TAY MINH PROVINCE OF SOUTH VIETNAM, WILL BE WITHDRAWN. AND REDEPLOYED IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY IN AREAS WHERE THE ANTI-GOVERNMENT HUKS ARE ACTIVE.
THE PHILIPPINE PULLOUT WILL BE THE FIRST COMPLETE WITHDRAWAL OF A NATIONAL CONTINGENT FROM VIETNAM.
THE 1,500 STRONG PHILIPPINE CIVIC ACTION GROUP'S ACTIVITIES HAVE RANGED OVER A WIDE FIELD. MAJOR CONSTRUCTION UNDERTAKINGS INCLUDING ROAD BUILDING AND MEDICAL TEAMS ARE ALL PART OF A PLAN DESIGNED TO GAIN THE CONFIDENCE OF THE VIETNAMESE PEOPLE AND HELP THEM RE-CONSTRUCT AND IMPROVE THEIR ENVIRONMENT AND HEALTH.
MUCH OF THE WORK IS BY EXAMPLE - SUCH AS RUNNING MODEL FARMS GROWING PHILIPPINE "MIRACLE RICE", MODEL POULTRY FARMS AND PIGGERIES.
THEY HAVE SPONSORED 11 HAMLETS, BUILDING CLINICS AND HOMES, AND EQUIPPING THEM WITH NECESSARY COMMODITIES - THEY EVEN DISTRIBUTE GIFTS AT CHRISTMAS AND TET.
ON A FIRE SUPPORT BASE THEY WORK ON KEEPING THE EQUIPMENT READY IN CASE OF ATTACK BY THE VIETCONG.
THERE HAVE BEEN TEAMS FROM THE PHILIPPINES IN SOUTH VIETNAM EVER SINCE 1964.
Here, a highly-trained staff of doctors and nurses have been providing medical help -- ranging from surgical work to pre-natal care -- with the cooperation of the Royal Laotian Government.
The Filipino organisation first started in South Vietnam in 1954. It moved to Laos three years later, and since 1963 it has been providing medical services under contract with the U.S. Agency for International Development (AID).
There are 130 Filipinos presently working for Operation Brotherhood in Laos. And since 1957, they have treated more than 3 million Laotians. Since last year, there have been over 4,000 patients admitted for surgery at OBI seven centres, and close to 17,000 cases treated at its pre-natal and family welfare clinics. And at their dental clinics, nearly 22,000 Laotians have had their teeth fixed in 1972.
Operation Brotherhood also runs a training program for nurses and nurses' aides. Last year 61 second year nursing students and 18 third year students were trained at the Vientiane Hospital. In training these students, the organisation realises that the eventual task of curing the people of Laos belongs to the Laotians.
In more than a decade and a half of work in Laos and South Vietnam, Operation Brotherhood has gained universal acclaim for its volunteer medical services.
