(I am rather surprised that you did not question being “awarded” Royal Laotian para wings, a country which has not existed for 35 years. But I gather that you did not see this so-called Laotian General -Maj. Gen. Khambang Sibounheuang,- in his made up uniform.
As an Army officer I am surprised that you would not question the number of phoney items on the uniform, such as wearing the French Abn Beret badge, not the Laotian, the USA CIB, SF DUI,etc. and one could go on
If you really want a story, you might like to take the time to read who this so-called General really is, as exposed 20 years ago in Senate Hearings. He has been conning the military community for many years and continues.
