The intensive bombing of Laos was a very secret part of the war in SE Asia: over two million tons were dropped, making it by far the most heavily bombed country on earth. This seems an appropriate song. Many bombs are unexploded (and still kill people yearly) while some enterprising (and very brave/foolhardy) people now collect them for scrap - or for making fences. Despite its sad past, the country is now peaceful, so HFF.

Explored.

Beautiful captured. An impressive and unique (?) memorial against war.

It wasn't secret for long. The news leaked out and, as a result, there were even more marches and riots.

It wasn't secret for long. The news got out, probably leaked by a reporter. I remember seeing it on TV. As a result, the press has had tight restrictions ever since on reporting war "on the ground." How about we just don't have any more? Ah, well...that would be too difficult.
