So serious is the increase in traffic that the U.S. is now bombing more in Laos than in North Viet Nam. In December the U.S. flew 6,722 combat sorties over Laos, hitting fuel dumps, traffic and gun emplacements along the Trail, v. only 5,692 over North Viet Nam. Even so, roughly 80% of the trucks get through...
