Saw that. Hmong did not stand a chance against Clint. The US could have used him in Vietnam.![[Image: gran-torino-movie-stills_5361222-400x305.jpeg]](http://www.media4.hw-static.com/wp-content/uploads/gran-torino-movie-stills_5361222-400x305.jpeg)
These Montangards (mountain tribes) sided with the U.S. during the Vietnam War, and then were sort of abandoned afterwards. Some were allowed to emigrate to the US though, where, as young movie viewers know, they moved in next to Korean War veterans. Others fled to Thailand and France.

But after the US thanked them for their service, most--thousands--fled to Laos, where they still live, armed and hiding with their children, hunted by the Laotian military. Some tips for the Kurds, maybe?
