• Comment: As America slid into the Laotian Civil War—and eventually into the Vietnam War—there were no shortage of incremental secret operations designed to win the war(s) with just a bit more pressure. Millpond was one of them. Conceived and gathered in hasty secrecy, this fleet of attack aircraft never dropped a bomb nor entered combat in Laos. However, it set the precedent for the use of air power in Laos.Georgejdorner (talk) 20:25, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

• The article's date of creation, length and copyvio check all look good. The hook is cited in the article to a reliable offline source, and the author conducted a QPQ review. I really enjoyed reading this interesting article.-RHM22 (talk) 05:40, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
