  6. DURING THE WAR • From 1964 to 1973, the U.S. dropped more than two million tons of ordnance over Laos during 580,000 bombing missions equal to a planeload of bombs every 8 minutes, 24-hours a day, for 9 years. The bombing was part of the U.S. Secret War in Laos to support the Royal Lao Government against Pathet Lao and North Vietnamese Army. The bombings destroyed many villages and displaced hundreds of thousands of Lao civillians during the nine-year period. • Of the 260 million cluster bombs dropped, up to 30 percent of the cluster bombs dropped by the U.S. in Laos failed to detonate, leaving extensive contamination from unexploded ordnance in the countryside. These “bombies,” as the Laotians now call them, have killed at least 30,000 civilians and injured 20,000 since 1964; 20,000 of those casualties occurred after the war ended. • The wounds of war are not only felt in Laos. When the Americans withdrew from Laos in 1973, hundreds of thousands of refugees fled the country, and many of them ultimately resettled in the United States.
