There is absolutely no mention of the massive amount of opium produced in Laos
Opium farming and labs producing morphine and heroin were a major industry in Laos. This book has a very well researched history of this. Chapter 7 has a wealth of information about it. Ubh (talk) 17:31, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Dien Bien Phu a minor defeat?
The article states that the French defeat at Dien Bien Phu was not that a great a military loss. I beg to differ. They lost half the Foreign Legion there; total French Union Forces lost amounted to about ten percent of all French Union troops in the war. That's minor?
