lmao. this wasn't some lone frontier with three men stationed there for 12 minutes. everyone knew exactly where the Cambodian and Laosian borders were. this was critical, considering the political situation at the time. to add, US officers are rigorously trained in proper map usage, and a 55 mile error would be quite hard to fathom (npi) unless the parties involved were totally and utterly incompetent
