That you would draw a parallel between the Hmong and the Anti Castro faction in South Florida reveals a genuine lack of knowledge of the Hmong people and the history of their involvement in the Vietnam war.

They were a truly "aboriginal" culture (for want of a better term). Hunter-gatherers and warriors in the protection of their territory in the mountains of eastern Laos. They never heard the term "communist" before the CIA recruited them - the relationship developed through personal loyalty, and was not idealogically driven.

Get thee to Google, and then come back and apologize for your insult.
