I'm looking for the best picture or any informations about the KAF's U-6 (Beaver). It seem that the KAF had 3 aircrafts.
But in 1971, during the viet cong's sapper attack at the Pochentong Air Base,at least 1 Beaver was destroyed.In 1972
at leat 1 Beaver was refurbished with a new engine.

Quality of Citation 32 (Southerland)
This source is a 2006 article in Radio Free Asia. While I don't have any reason doubt the existence of the atrocities it mentions, RFA is a known propaganda arm of the United States government known for spreading misinformation in and about the region under discussion in this article, and is therefore not to be trusted any farther than you can throw one of their broadcast towers. Perhaps we can find a primary source to replace it on the issues we're using it for here? Southerland himself cites a book, First They Killed My Father, by one Loung Ung (with whom I'm unfamiliar, but I did come to this article to learn in the first place), to substantiate some of the claims he makes that we repeat here. That might be a good starting point, if it's credible. A quick google search shows that
some people have already picked at a few details, albeit unimportant ones.

You may want to refer to
this discussion about the reliability of RFA. I personally don't know much about this topic to give an informed opinion, but it's good to cross reference RFA with another source due to their bias in geopolitically-charged areas.

Radio Free Asia is usually considered a reliable source, as can be seen at
WP:RSP. As can be read on that page there is consensus that for the purposes of Wikipedia it is neither a peddler of misinformation nor a propaganda outlet. If you disagree with that assessment the proper place to voice complaints is
WP:RSN.

The Peter Landsiedel Source
This is an undetailed comment to be sure, but the Peter Landsiedel source that’s being used very early and prominently in the article to establish key facts about the genocide is painfully, abysmally weak and immediately throws the credibility of the entire article into question.
I'm concerned about the bit on women's advancements
Okay, this is kind of outside the normal parameters of discussion on Wikipedia and I don't think there's a specific policy that covers this. But the section on androcide, as it currently sits, kinda makes it sound like the genocide was a good thing for women. And it probably was in some ways. But it seems, I dunno...like emphasizing this might have some regrettable consequences? When I read it a part of my brain thought sheepishly, "Wow, we really are holding women back."
Does anyone else see it this way? Should we maybe de-emphasize the benefits of killing all men?
