Former Central Intelligence Agency chief William Colby once called Gen Pao "the biggest hero of the Vietnam War".Which is precisely why he was denied burial in Arlington. |

| #2 A hero no doubt. Hmong are not appreciated for their support and sacrifices, I worked with them in '70-71. He SHOULD be in Arlington as he prevented the deaths of very many Americans. |
