William Kelly Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) General look and attire incl pen in pocket and watch may indicate function/rank. edit typo I'd say he was Hmong and probably served under Vang Pao in the SGU. http://hmongtimes.co...&ArticleID=3072 http://www.ljmilitar...ms_for_sale.htm I agree David, Gary Yia Lee - Hmong Anthropologist Many books have been published on the so-called "secret war" that lasted from 1961 to 1973 in Laos. Countless debates and discussions have also been conducted on the impact of the war, who did what, and whether there was a promise by the CIA to take care of the Hmong, the main recruits into its "secret army" there, should it lose the war. There has been much historical revision and (mis)appropriation since the end of the war in 1975. I have tried to be as objective as possible in depicting the events during this period or since the Hmong settlement in that small country.

Zach Robertson Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) David Morales and four unidentified friends: Vietnam, 1969-1971 Before we label anyone "top level drug/Heroin smugglers," I think it would be awesome if we knew who these other guys were first. Also, for those unaware, you can actually click on the picture (twice) to enlarge it to its original size.
