If these Hmong veterans can prove themselves to be indeed America's
forgotten soldiers as described in these journals, it must be
something really owed to their past due services as direct result of
American foreign policy. So, the plight of these people can't simply
end in vain at the deaf silence of the desolate jungle, but more
importantly to a largerly unpaid indebtedness by betrayal, when
America led war has gone bad, and knowingly in advance that the winner
would take absolutely all, and the loser left surely with so many
unintended consequences to bear. It is also paradoxical to a theory in
which America is for all, but only accountable to mostly their
Caucasian white brothers first who are being still so meticulously
sought as missing in action in any every official visit or posting as
we know. The MIA question is never out of the sight to make sure the
patriotic fevor is legitimate to its initial promise to stay on course
as the greatest nation in deed, not only word for its citizen.

Nonetheless, these America's forgotten soldiers are indeed well
forgotten, even ignored because their due services are seemingly out
of date, the only act America can play is for PR plot with a few
verbal consolation to make sure that the crowd is catching up fast
with the pretense. There's no concerted solution as being well proven
for almost thirty years for these desolate people to live on a fool's
errand from jungle to jungle, with illusion that one day a big white
elephant from the cloud will appear at their side to rescue, more they
are entangled in waiting for their services returned with this kind of
dreaming, more they seem to fade away in the depth of indifferent
jungle, because time is no longer on their side...to shorten the
prolonged suffering especially for their kids and families is to
accept the price of compromise at the negotiating table with at least
the presence of those accepted monitoring entities on both side. As
people like or no, there's a plenty of trump cards this government
seems to have at its disposal is time, they don't seem to be in any
hurry, they know too well that time is on their side...seemingly without
even paying a single lip service.

Once all of these are settled, America's forgotten soldiers will find
out rather quickly that America they used to serve is no longer what
they face today. Politics is indeed a very strange bedfellow without
ethical boundary nor moral binding, thus the hated enemies of
yesteryears become lovely friends of today, and vice versa is also
true, and it ain't over until the fat lady sings...And we shouldn't find
it too hard or too bitter to swallow, that's the way the world
functions in the name of their own interest that could be identical to
national interest, sometimes just by some juxtaposition.
