Battle of Lak Sao

  • Reviewed: United States Senate election in Illinois, 1885
  • Comment: This was the second in a series of unsuccessful battles fought by the Lao army to expel Vietnamese communist invaders from Laos. Its loss in early 1964 undermined the power of the Lao general running Laos, Phoumi Nosavan, and underlined the incapacity of the Royal Lao Army. By contrast, the Central Intelligence Agency's guerrilla army was enjoying great success, and subsequently attracting U.S. funding. The Laotian Civil War would increasingly be fought by irregulars.

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Accepting sources and lack of plagiarism AGF, as sources are offline and I do not have access. This article is ready to go, except that the hook is not directly cited. There needs to be a citation directly following the statement that the US advised against it.--¿3family6 contribs 21:58, 24 November 2014 (UTC) --¿3family6 contribs 21:58, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
