The "most bombed per capita" people in the world are "defenseless peasants" in the 1970s words of #ChomskyAndHerman in #PEHR #AfterTheCataclysm.. #SubsistenceFarmers, I wonder when this term came into use? I'm guessing after the 70s...

A defenseless peasant population getting bombed is "fighting", look at the photo!?!?!

> The lobby of the Vihn Thong Guesthouse in Phonsavan displays defused and emptied ordnance as well as a mural depicting fighting around the Plain of Jars in the 1960s.
