RE: Wandering Tales of Exploring Laos : Visiting Cope Center, A Museum To Learn About The Danger Of UXO And History Of Bombing in Laos

in Worldmappin2 years ago

The most bombs dropped per head of population in history during the 'hidden war' and even today, people still losing limbs from stepping on unexploded ordnance.

It's very educational there as so few people know the history.

Sort:  

It's so fascinating how many Americans don't know about this hidden war. After visiting the center, I ended up watching documentaries about it and all these victims said, " I hate America but I forgive them". It's also something that I wasn't taught either. The place sure does a good job in raising awareness about it. 10/10 recommended when in Vientiane.
