Comment: When two armies fire machine guns and cannons at one another from opposite sides of city blocks, only the civilians get hurt. If not for the suffering of the bystanders and the devastation to the city, the Battle of Vientiane would have seemed comic opera. However, the winner of the battle conquered the
Kingdom of Laos, and the loser fled with his forces to form yet another side in the ongoing
Laotian Civil War. There was still a decade and a half of fighting left.
