my family escaped from cambodia in 1979 and stayed in the refugee camps in thailand, then i was born. i never really get to hear about the hardships what my parents had gone through during the khmer roughe regime, still today its still hard for them to even talk about it. i just wished we could at least get a chance to learn about the war in cambodia in school and how 2mllions had died during that time, like how we learned about the halocaust.

My wife was one of the lucky ones air-lifted out the day that Phnom Penh fell. Far too many others were not so fortunate.

I had the opportunity to meet Haing before his death, and he shared a photo album with me, along with talk of what he went through. He deserved a much better fate.

Rest in peace, Haing ...

All my high school friends died in the hell here called humankind.

I can't help but CRY when I see a vet who fought this horrible battle FOR NOTHING!

I want my best friends BACK ....

@LeakenaDoll interesitng you say that your parents escaped from cambodia in 1979. Intersintgly enough that was the same year that the vietnamese army invaded cambodia to overthrow the khymer rouge. The kyhmer rouge, their shoddy army, leadership and followers all escaped to Thialand, where they renamed themselves the 'democratic front' and recieved american support as a anti commie party until 1994 where the vietnamese left cambodia, and the Cambodian government then invited the KR refugeesback

@Nationalacr0bat What u say ..can be partly correct...after viet invaded khmer, there is a side power...one is pol pot...and is the king sihanouk and one is the hong sun's govt, back-powered by viet...later in 1990s , hong sun will negotiate with the sihanouk and form the present kingdom of cambodia. Pol pot's khmer rouge will still harrased the country at some areas but he was later overthrown by his own party. Pol pot died in 1999 and the khmer rouge offically surrender in 2001.

@m16a1rifle ------------'The Killing Fields' is a great film. for those who love communism and think it is great, watch this film!!!---------->Yes, and also read history. Pol Pot was disposed by USSR ally COMMUNIST Vietnam. Pol Pot was supported by REFORMIST CAPITALIST Deng Xiaoping and by the US. The US fought to keep the Khmer Rouge's representation in UN till 80s!

Communists clean their own garbage. U also forgot about OPERATION MENU?! Communist Vietnam got rid of KR.

My uncle was in vietnam army in 1979, he kill many khmer, he is hero.

After vietnam invaded and conquer kampuchea we destroy khmer rouge very quickly. But throughout 1980's pol pot and khmer rouge reviece millions of dollars from U.S. to fight vietnam and put pol pot back into power. without vietnam help no khmer would exist today, you all would have died from pol pot financed by american money. the world is not so simple my friends, get educated. You will surprised.
