[edit] Move and redirect?

I propose that this article be moved to either Chieu Hoi or Chieu Hoi Program, and be expanded a bit to cover the entire program, making Chieu hoi bag a redirect to it. The article already is more about the program than the bag, and I think we can link it to more articles if it is about the program. - Crockspot 17:22, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Sources that might be useful after a move. - Crockspot 21:45, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moved

I have moved the article. I also added some great sources above and to the article. If anyone wants to dig in and do some rewriting and sourcing, feel free. The article was originally about the Chieu Hoi bag, but about as much as can be said is said, and I would like to see it shift more to cover the entire program, with some examples of other chieu hoi devices. (Already added one that was in another article). - Crockspot 03:38, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
