What's old is new again. A lot of Viet Nam Era vets would feel right at home and teach these youngsters a thing or two about this type of warfare.

The course is part of a program to train soldiers for exercises and potential combat on terrain that looks more like islands and nations in the Pacific "

Well those guys just missed the Supreme Immam jihadi.....I read he was just in Hawaii an I believe he went to Tahiti. He'll be there for a month.

The US Army has been training for several years at the Counter-Insurgency and Jungle Warfare School in India. It’s considered the best Jungle school currently in operation anywhere in the world.

Reading Sun Tzu and studying the tactics that the VietCong used to protect themselves from bombardment would in fact be a good addition.

About the best training I had for the Nam was the old Jungle Warfare course at Ft. Sherman CZ. A crusty old Colonel named Winkeller was in charge and he setup an infamous forced march the first Friday night we were there.

When I took over my first platoon in the 4th Inf I was so used to living in the mud from Panama that I settled right in like a pig.

Panama was/is a ghastly place, to borrow a phrase.
