[Ryoutarou]

[Ayame Tokomi]

Haha. That's cool. I think. But I'm not too informed of things so I guess if he's free then he's free.  

[Ke_Lanh_Lung]

lol, i never went there to put the signs up at the place where they did the thingy.... i dont know wat you call that but yeah.. haha, i was too lazy to do that....  

[Niitsu Kakunoshin]

To me, he is just another person. His freedom is only another person that has been freed from the stocks. Though he may be called our General, he is nothing for me to be rejoicing about for his freedom.

Yeah, the guy was important (to the older generations mostly though, some of us younger generation not really pay attention)

He joined the French army to protect the hmong from the Japanese invasion during the French indochina war during WWII, had friendly ties to the Laotian king, and helped to recruit us hmong people to help the US with the Vietnam war and the Ho Chi Mihn trail. With us joining and aiding the US army, our people were able to get food, clothing, and a place to stay temporarily at before the refugee camps called Long Tieng (also known as Long Cheng or Looj Ceeb)
