Guerrilla warfare? The V.C. wore us down with it. I knew those urban camos would come in handy some day. :^)
You probably don't want to go further with your implication about camos.
NO, the V.C didn't wear us down. On another thread we discussed the fact that after the Tet Offensive in 1968 (that we won), the Viet Cong were descimated. Even the top NVA general (General Giap) said in his memoirs that after destroying the Viet Cong and putting the hurt to the North Vietnam Army, he stated it was a lost cost for his side and was ready to concede. Google General Giap if you don't believe me.
It wasn't until Cronkite lied that we lost the Tet Offensive which futher encouraged the hippie movement and Giap re-thought his position. We were winning against the scourge of communism, and yes it is a scourge. I've witnessed it personally back in the late '60's. It is a disinsentive against basic human initiative. That's why all hippie communes failed.
Yes, I know. I'm preaching to choir, but I have first hand knowledge as to why the socialists/communists keep thinking it can work, and yet doesn't.
As Margaret Thatcher has been quoted and misquoted, "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money [to spend]." or "Eventually, Socialists run out of other peoples' money [to spend]." However, she and Ronald Reagan created the most prosperous time in Western civilization and destroyed the evil Soviet Union.
Now, we have its cousin, socialism, within our own Republic destroying us.
