3 million died in the war in South East Asia and Thailand was the mother of all airbases. During 1965, over 200,000 American soldiers were sent to South Vietnam, and in 1966, 200,000 more. By early 1968, there were more than 500,000 American troops there, and the US Air Force was dropping bombs at a rate unequalled in history.By the end of the war, 7 million tons of bombs had been dropped on Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia - more than twice the amount of bombs dropped on Europe and Asia in World War II

This is a great contemporary documentary about the role of Thailand in the Vietnam War and the political landscape internally at the time.

Coincidentally I'm a member of the Utapao Alumni. Was stationed there in 1968-1969. View outside my office at the time.
