Secret War

Alternative meaning: Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars

The Secret War was the Lao front of the Second Indochina War and lasted 13 years (1962-1975). It was the largest paramilitary operation ever undertaken by the CIA, and though not officially acknowledged, was no secret at all. Using a proxy force of some thirty thousand Laotians on the ground, mostly Hmong tribesman, supported in the air by Air America and the Royal Lao Air Force, the CIA fought North Vietnamese units in Laos and the communist Pathet Lao to a standstill.
