Yeah, I am a Nam combat vet. We had many problems with spies giving coordinates for attacks and infiltration from spies within the ARVN.

I wrote an email to the SecDef some time ago telling them to stop allowing reporters to say precisely how many were killed and where. It gives the enemy a bomb damage assessment and allows them to improve their attacks.

We have allowed the leftist criticism and the wimps in Europe to undermine the toughness we need to win this thing. In that respect it is giving me the creeps, reminding me of the idiocy of our leaders in Nam.

morning after an attack on Sword base in Mogadishu I observed (and reported) a Somali "employee" walking off the distance between mortar strikes- there are no friendlies-
trust no one-
