actually i posted that he did but it was a rumor but now the fact is gen. vang pao was not buried at arlington cemetary. the pentagon did not ok.

anyway i think hmong people deserve more respect because hmong people help save the life of downed american soilders who airplanes were shot down during the war. on top of that many hmong soildiers fought for the idea of democracy then they were hunted down because of it. the american people lost the vietnam war not the government.

He probably wants to be buried in Laos.

It's a controversial issue. I don't know much about General Vang Pao, but he probably didn't represent the US.

He may have been a US ally in the past, but things change quickly. He has a history of arrest, and there's possibly bad blood between him and the US Government in recent times.

Bad news. He should be bury in Arlington. He is US allies and fought for US government. I also don't know much detail about General Vang Pao. I was born after Vietnam War.
:(

Like I said, things change quickly.

The US and Laos have amended their relationship over the years, and are now good friends. So when Vang Pao attempted to overthrow the Lao Government a few years ago, he lost alot of respect.

Also, he and his Hmong supporters constantly accuse the Obama administration for not doing enough to help their people in Laos, so they don't consider him a hero to Americans.

It's sad that he died, but I understand the decision of the United States.

Now you should know who your friend is! We all being used by them! When you have no used to them they will just drop you in the rubbish bin.

Agreed. It's time of peace and prosperity. Laos is a peaceful country and friends with everybody. Laos & USA.   8-)

agreed, I went to Laos last year and I felt like I did not leave Laos in 1978.  Everyone is friendly to me.  I remembered when I left I thought this country is going to be filled with ai nong people from the northern parts of Laos...lol ....little have I known I was so young any way.  all those ai nong people I did not even notice.  I am going back again this year.  

American administrator alway using people like kleenex tissues. after you being used, they will  just drop in the bin.

I guess the U.S Government are to be commended for honouring a real American icon.    :)

I'm sure that a lot of Americans love (or used to love) Mr. Bush, otherwise he wouldn't have served two full terms as President.

yes i believe if he had it his way he would choose to be shipped to laos and buried there.

i'm sure obama would ok it but i dont think its his decision. it all comes down to policy.

personally i like the idea that he is not buried at Arlington. he is now buried in a good, respectful cemetery where we all can go to, and if his family wish they can be buried next to him. at Arlington you cant do that. it would have been nice of the u.s to ok gen vang paos burial but i guess if they ok it, they have to ok many other burials.

hmongs great leader has passed on, but as i said there are many capable leaders in the hmong community across u.s that can bring peace amongst us all as long as we work together.

Alway look at the brighter side. I still think that he should be buried in Arlington or Laos. Give a man his last wish what's the big deal.

Bush didn't win by must, but he's out. Many American also vote his Republican party out of offices. I votes for Obama and Democrats. In my opinion Republican Party is for the rich and big business. Democrats Party are for working class and poor.

in my opinion both parties look the other way while Hiroshima and Nagasaki was bomb to smithereens which included small children and pregnant women. the more you pay attention to these two parties they more you will hate their guts, trust me. not one party is better. of course people will justify why they believe in each of them but both are as bad as the other.

I think Democrats is better. Economies was good during Clinton. Republican want to cut taxes for rich, but cut social program, healthcare, education benefits for working class.

Ah, politics. It provokes much discussion and dissension. I once heard that if you don't want to start an argument in mixed company, you should not talk about religion, politics, (and there was something else, I believe, but I can not recall at this time).
