Actually no, we let them hang out to dry for the last 20 years. They live in squalid refugee camps in Thailand. From what I understand, they fought bravely beside us...I'm sure there are many on this BB who could elaborate on that matter.

Who did we leave out to dry? There are at least 300,000 Hmong in the US. With this refugee wave we are mostly taking in Hmong who were not alive during the Vietnam war. It's absurd.
