My girlfriend is Cambodian and I was fascinated to hear stories from her parents and their friends about the conditions they had to endure during the reign of the Khmer Rouge.

I wrote an article of a brief history of the conflict and some of its factors if anyone is unfamiliar and interested in learning more.
The Cambodian Genocide

Pretty well known here in Australia and I guess most of Asia......

Yeah, that's who had 20% of the Cambodian population killed. He used to kill anyone who would oppose his politics.

they made a movie about this - The Killing Fields (1984)

I spent 18 months working with Khmer Seraii in 3 corps.
Fierce warriors and beautiful people.
Our guys were somewhat exiled and wanted to go home and kill Prince Sihanouk.
After I left, the A Camps were turned over to ARVNs and the Khmers were given arms ans supplies and headed home.
The group from my camp took up with the Khmer Rouge.
That lasted a short time until Pol Pot's guys decided they had become "too Vietnamised."
They were lulled into complacency over a couple of days.
They were disarmed and sent to a big celebration where they were all murdered.
I just learned this recently from a Khmer Mike Force vet.
Very troubling to me.
Ever present demons from hell, only the uniform changes.
