Special Forces and numerous OSS types had all kinds of experience in THIS KIND of war. SF had been in Laos on White Star. What do you think the OSS did with the French and Chinese in WWII against the Germans and Japs.
If we were using special forces and OSS types then the anti-war movement wouldn’t even exist; how many protests do you see today against our wars in Afghanistan and Iraq?
The draft concept fueled the anti-war movement; every male teen approaching graduation knew he could be sent over there. I was very young when the war ended; I couldn’t imagine facing that at 17 - and now I couldn’t imagine my sons facing it.
