In vietnam the US followed strict protocol, rules of engagement. the VC didn't, they did what ever worked and it worked well.
In order to defeat an enemy you can't handcuff yourself and give them an obvious advanatage. You must fight fire with fire, no matter how distasteful it is to the spineless jellyfish libs back home.

Wow. Were you there, Sammy? Or did you just read about it on the internets? Because ever since you told us about "the media" burying the Long Beach racial beating case, (which has been front page news for weeks now in L.A.), I've noticed that you just seem to make schit up. And you're not very good at it.
The Viet Nam war was a guerilla war from the start, there were never any old school, American Civil war type battles w/ large battalions of troops advancing against opposing troops to capture land. You need to stick to shilling for big oil, at least you have the advantage that most of us are not in that industry and it's harder to tell when you are pulling stuff out of your ass.
