This is a video explain how Vang Pao exploit people in the Hillside for cash during 1953-1975. Something very similar before him. In the past, Hmong people who want to become rich did not go into engineering, business, or any other creative and productive things. The only way was to become a French thieves puppet figurehead. The revolution in Laos from 1953-1975 was launch to change that addictive habits of thieves worshipping that did nothing for the development of Laos. Vang Pao follow the puppet government style and loss the war with the revolutionaries.
