美国空军的惨无人道之举。
越战期间，美军违反国际公约，在越南、老挝等国大量地、非法地、偷偷地喷洒除草剂，给两国人民带来巨大的伤害，很多人至今在残疾和痛苦中煎熬。虽然证据确凿，但是美军不承认在老挝的行径。纽约时报报道。

Decades later, even in official military records, the spraying of Laos is mentioned only in passing.

Only in the last two decades has the United States finally acknowledged and taken responsibility for the legacy of Agent Orange in Vietnam, committing hundreds of millions of dollars to aiding the victims and cleaning up the worst-contaminated hot spots there.
While records of spraying operations inside Laos exist, the extent to which the U.S. military broke international agreements has never been fully documented, until now. An in-depth, monthslong review of old Air Force records, including details of hundreds of spraying flights, as well as interviews with many residents of villages along the Ho Chi Minh Trail, reveals that, at a conservative estimate, at least 600,000 gallons of herbicides rained down on the ostensibly neutral nation during the war.
For years, Hammond and Chagnon were aware of the spraying in Laos, but the remote areas affected were almost inaccessible. Finally, in , with new paved roads connecting the main towns, and many smaller villages accessible in the dry season by rough tracks, they were able to embark on systematic visi....
