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
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
Was a*
Heh, jungles will remain for some time longer a shitty place to fight a war.
Or mountains for that matter.
it wont let me post a meme in the meme channel :/
rip me
