Date: July 22nd, 2017 8:33 PM Author: Buff Cruise Ship Famous Landscape Painting i think it was kind of a mushy collision of several counterinsurgency ideas. the "strategic hamlets" program was based on an older french model called the "oil spot" strategy, which basically meant coming into a village for an extended period of time, collecting information about the insurgent networks, destroying the insurgent presence in the area, and then remaining there long enough to "flip" the village to strong government control.
that actually worked reasonably well where it was done according to the model. but there were too few soldiers to implement this strategy across all of south vietnam, so the idea was to send guys on expeditionary missions to find insurgents and wipe them out. but there were too damn many of them for that to be very effective.
so, villages would get occupied for a little while, the soldiers would move on, the village would fall back to the insurgents, the soldiers would go back in, the village would get wrecked due to repeated bouts of this process, homeless villagers joined the insurgents, etc. |

Iraq had less KIAs than Vietnam but ony because we have improved battlefield medicine, tens of thousands of horrible traumatic injuries |

Date: July 22nd, 2017 8:45 PM Author: Concupiscible slate alpha The reason casualties were high was massive Soviet and Chicom support for the NVA. They shot down hundreds of primitive garbage Yankee warplanes with 180 as fuck Soviet SAMs. It was a turkey shoot. The consensus after Vietnam was the US would never win an air war over Europe. It led to a trillion dollars going to R&D on stealth. Today it would be the same thing if the Russkies and Chicoms decided to send $50 billion worth of weapons to whoever the US was fighting. A mere $3 billion in Syria of Russian aid totally destroyed the US campaign there. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3682173&forum_id=2#33833342) |
