huge numbers arrived from neighboring vietnam every year. many of the vietnamese migrants are skilled workers. they leave their competitive homeland with dreams of becoming wealthy in laos. some started with very little but have achieved great success. others moved to laos with their families from poor farming villages and launched their own businesses. with the asean economic community being established later this year, we follow vietnamese migrants in laos as they search for prosperity. laos is landlocked between five countries at the cross-roads of southeast asia. customs and immigration at each border have become crowded with people and vehicles transporting goods. the number of tourists to the country has also jumped fourfold in the last decade. >> i'm from singapore. i don't understand thai. >> for members of the asean economic community, most tariffs and visa requirements are expected to be lifted later this year. laos has been busily establishing transportation networks and special economic zones. exports have already surged more tha

but vietnam revised the need for snipers because of enemy forces in vietnam, illustrating the effectiveness of sniper techniques under varying tactical conditions. united states snipers in vietnam used 2.3 rounds per kill versus thousands of rounds per kill expended by conventional units. for these reasons, the army conducted sniper courses and educated commanders on all levels on sniper employment. in grenada, army snipers were successful at ranges of up to 800 meters. during recent action "just cause" in panama, the longest confirmed kill documented was 925 meters. snipers in panama accounted for at least 10% of all casualties and were instrumental in intelligence gathering and security, especially around the papal nuncio. the role of the modern sniper team is to enhance the means of eliminating the enemy. the sniper team is unique in that it is the sole means by which a unit can engage point targets beyond the effective range of a standard service rifle. one shot, one kill. united states army snipers. >> monday night, we spoke with executives at the consumer electronics show in las vegas

i think you know vietnam, when we think about vietnam it was a very dark moment in our nation's history, you know and certainly true for south vietnam. and i think to know that there were heroes during this time both south vietnamese and americans who rivgd theirsked their lives, did everything they could to save as many vietnamese as possible is a story we just don't know there they're real heros that come out of this moment, who just did the most exceptional things. r. >> what was the fate of the people that didn't get on the helicopters? >> well, you know, of course i think that the desperation that you saw in those images was based on a fear that the south vietnamese had what would happen to them, and indeed, many of them were tortured. they were killed. many of them spent years in re-education camps, basically hard labor. so you know there was real struggle for those who were left behind. a man in our film dan pham worked with the americans. was promised we would get him out if there's was a need. he wasn't able to get out during those last days and he ended up spending 13 years in

-- in vietnam killing people like you? whereas people in the military were saying, no we're defending the american way. yes, two very different peoples that look at the world a different way. over time the chicano movement left a legacy. there's still some of that ideology around, but i would make the case really what you have today as you look around the country is some blend of that mexican-american generation's ideology and the chicano ideology. but what they've developed into is more of a still a rather consensual kind of world view. things have changed since then. you see many more interracial couples, you have somewhat more integrated schools. you do see more elected officials that are mexican-american. but there's still a long, long way to go. first of all, i don't think our story's being told at all, not very much. ..

. >> can i say one word on vietnam? i just have to add that i think vietnam has this great opportunity because it's one of the initial negotiators of the trans pacific nart they are ship so if it can be implemented and vietnam can meet the standards, vietnam will be the biggest winner relative to its gdp, so this will be a very important measure for vietnam to tie it more closely to the united states and japan economically. now, it would be good if china joins a successful tpp. that will be great for the whole region, but it's a great opportunity for vietnam. >> by the way, they look to the next round, speaking of other countries, we haven't talk eded a lot about australia today. they have a very good fis tall position and yet, they're only spending about 1.6% of their gdp on the military, so it gives you some gauge of their relative concern about china. it's real, but not through the roof. likewise, there's a lot of talk about prime minister abe, remilitarizing japan. there are a lot of interesting things going on in j

i do think vietnam, because they want this deal will make some changes. mexico is not going to make the changes. we want to see how are we going to enforce this deal at the same time that corporate america is going to enforce their side. put us all on a level playing field or give us investor state so that citizen state dispute settlement so we can sue when workers are disadvantaged. >> always a pleasure. good to have you with us. remember to answer tonight's question there at the bottom of your screen. we read your comments. >>> coming up, staples is trying to save money by cracking down on part-time workers. mitt romney's business model, it is on full display. >>> plus in fighting in hillary hillary's political operation looks like 2008 all over again. we're right back. the answers. the solutions. the innovations. all waiting to help us build something better. something more amazing. a safer, cleaner brighter future. at boeing, that's what building something better is all about. ♪ ♪ have you heard of the new dialing procedure for for the 415 and 628

the chicana movement and the anti-vietnam war demonstrations. he didn't have much of that in victoria. people try to bring about change by voting, by suing by holding meetings with local business leaders. it was very much a consensual view of american citizenship. let me explain it to you for a second. when i first started researching this as a dissertation i was a grad student at the university of iowa that i went to all these classes and i thought now i know to look for. clearly there must have been a story like victoria. nothing. a little bitty bit so i'm finding no evidence of overt resistance. what i found was subtle resistance. here's the point, these folks were very consensual. they were patriotic americans so they brought into values practices traits and bullies. we talk about citizenship is where you were born and what country you are loyal to but there's a whole list of unwritten rules that defined citizenship. your race, your gender, your class your level of education, where you live your religion. if you are an atheist you are not ge

the vietnam war suddenly gives demand a big shot in the arm. our aggregate demand curve shifts up here. look at the difference. the increasing demand's effect goes into higher prices. we're already producing at the economy's capacity. supply does not increase. we have entered the world of demand-pull inflation. keynesians felt that the economic cure was simple. lower demand by raising taxes. if a tax cut can raise demand a tax increase can reduce demand. we can never know how this remedy would have worked. it wasn't tried. what is certain is that inflation was to become, in the years following a more complex and painful phenomenon. inflation, a source of anguish and despair as it undermines purchasing power and eats away at savings. it's hard to plan for inflation. when it spreads rapidly, many are unprotected particularly those on fixed incomes. but there are those who benefit from unexpected rising prices. just who are they? people in debt can gain from inflation. the great middle class traditionally goes into debt to buy a house. when intere

when bill clinton went to vietnam and opened relations with vietnam that followed very quickly with the bilateral trade agreement, many of us said it was a mistake not to get human rights reforms, durable reforms first, and then move to the diplomatic relationship. the post points out that it is the way mr. obama has gone about this that has s ais a mistake. not reform first but moving in to provide a lifeline as one of the editorials pointed out at a time when venezuela is provided less funding. a very opportune time, and we blew it when it came to vietnam. the vietnam human rights act, harry, the majority leader, now minority leader, harry reid would not put it up for a vote, but three times bipartisan legislation with benchmarked to vietnam. cuba is already there and we're moving having not learned a single lesson from those failed openings openings. i firmly disagree about your comment about isolation. we're talking about financially enabling a lifeline. and they talked about president obama's betrayal of cuban democrats. some that were rearrested that were let out. just under 200 t
