Like that's a bad fucking sign

Won against guerrilla? Not very likely, despite technological supremacy.

I guess I just wish we could not have to use draft for proxy wars if at all possible

because we couldn't let the communists gain a greater foothold in SE asia

south korea, the philippines, japan etc US allies are right there

Without a fight anyway

yep

and it semi-worked in korea

Oh ya, we didn't want Korea to happen in veitnam, explains the pussy footing

Korea and Vietnam are two very different stories. One was an enemy trying to actually fight in the open other was a hide&seek affair.

I understand that at least

Grand stragtic level is what I was referring to

jungle warfare is literally the worst

Vietnam had a lot more in common with Afghanistan than with Korea.

Eh Urban might compete for the worst

For one, support of the local populace in warzones was nearly irrelevant in Korea while in Vietnam it mattered a whole lot.

@Fergazar thats probably true

jungles provide little or no cover and are far harder to navigate than urban

Depends on the city

room to room fighting sucks but getting shot at without being able to see the enemy or even get behind something stronger than a fallen log is worse

Idk, urban setting is pretty atrocious to navigate in as well once the initial destruction of the buildings happens.

In addition, citys are hard because of how 3d they are

also, few or no roads.

resupply in the jungle is virtually impossible

its also very easy to hide AA in a jungle

Roads are death traps

Props and speaking too much for a modern perspective, RPGs were not exactly common back then

Perhaps*

IEDs were always a thing though...

Or javelins, or or or

True, and they were also a problem in urban Warfare even back then

Vietnamese you so stick mines on the end of sticks and suicide bomb tanks

Stupid talk to text

It got the message across regardless.

Here's a real question, anyway we could have gone into Vietnam with a winning solution?

Arab so is futile from the beginning and we should have come up with an alternate strategy all together?

Or perhaps it was *

Like with China and Cambodia being a pain in the ass was it even worth it?

If we're talking shaped charges, the bamboo sticks are relatively decent delivery method if you manage to suppress the infantry supporting the armor. Don't get me wrong, very risky but not exactly suicidal in an urban setting.

If it's a bunch of guys charging across a clearing, on the other hand, yeah, that's just stupid. 😛

Lol ya that would be, and that jungle tactic by the way
