Good morning all,
Some semi-incoherent, unorganized comments re the subject line I highlighted with the = marks along w/ the quotes......
Again, this is unorganized rambling.
There are some small schools of thought (I belong) that call the French 1945 to 1954 war the French Indochina War and that this was followed by the:
2nd Indochina War, 1954-1975.
It was this 2nd war that we know as the "Vietnam War".
Of course all this was just one aspect of the overall Cold War.
Do recall, just prior to the US entering Vietnam, the US had a secret military defeat of Indonesia's Sarkarno and the P.K.I. (Indonesian Communist Party). Indonesia allowed for the use of the term "Domino" re the massive mobilization for US entry into the void filled when the French left Indochina.
For researchers, the US person's name that opens up the neglected (supressed?) Indonesia conflict was Allen Pope.
Pope was a pilot who served in the Korean War and also fought in the French Indochina War. More accurately, he fought OVER the war, dropping supplies to the French. He was part of the US contingent in support of the French.
Warm regards,
Bob

Un ancien d Indochine se suicide par solidarité avec les Hmongs (presse) A veteran of the war in Indochina committed suicide, in solidarity with the Hmong
RENNES, 12 déc 2011 (AFP)
Un colonel en retraite, commandeur de la Légion d'honneur, s'est suicidé au pied du monument aux morts d'Indochine de Dinan (Ille-et-Vilaine) pour dénoncer l'"indifférence" des autorités face au sort de la minorité Hmong du Laos, rapporte le quotidien Ouest France lundi.
Robert Jambon, 86 ans, s'est tué le 27 octobre en tirant sa "dernière cartouche", selon les termes employés dans une lettre d'explication, où il exprime sa "part de honte" face à "la lâche indifférence de nos responsables face au terrible malheur qui frappe nos amis" Hmongs, selon le journal.
Ancien d'Indochine, le colonel Jambon avait tenté depuis un quart de siècle d'attirer l'attention sur le sort des Hmongs, minorité chrétienne et pro-occidentale victime, selon lui, d'un "véritable génocide" depuis l'avènement de régimes communistes au Laos et au Vietnam en 1975.
M. Jambon, qui avait combattu aux côtés de Hmongs durant la guerre d'Indochine (1950-54), s'était notamment indigné de la faible réaction de la France et des Etats-Unis à l'expulsion de Thaïlande, en décembre 2009, de 4.731 réfugiés hmongs qui avaient fui le Laos communiste, selon le journal.
La répression visant les Hmongs au Vietnam et au Laos est régulièrement dénoncée par des organisations de défense des droits de l'Homme tel Human Rights Watch.
A veteran of the war in Indochina committed suicide, in solidarity with the Hmong
A retired colonel, commander of the Legion of Honor, killed himself at the foot of the memorial in Indochina Dinan (Ille-et-Vilaine) for denounce the "indifference" of the authorities to the plight of the Hmong minority in Laos, the daily Ouest France reported on Monday.
Robert JAMBON 86, was killed Oct. 27 by taking his "last shot" in the words in a letter of explanation, which he expressed his "share of shame" against "the cowardly indifference of our leaders face the terrible plight of our friends "Hmong, the newspaper said.
Former Indochina, Colonel JAMBON had tried for a quarter of a century to draw attention to the plight of the Hmong minority Christian and pro-Western victim, he said, a "genocide" since the advent of communist regimes in Laos and Vietnam in 1975.
Mr. Ham, who had fought alongside Hmong during the Indochina War (1950-1954), was particularly outraged by the weak reaction of France and the United States to the expulsion of Thailand, December 2009 of 4,731 Hmong refugees who fled communist Laos, the newspaper said.
Repression of the Hmong in Vietnam and Laos is regularly denounced by human rights organizations of human rights as Human Rights Watch
