Well, those “skirmishes” with India usually involved more people dying from the harsh conditions of the Himalayas than actual combat. And the invasion of Vietnam lasted one month.
I suppose those count, but I don’t think they count for much.
I agree. I was just being nitpicky. “I lost my toes in the Himalayas” is not great institutional knowledge to pass along.
If China really wants Taiwan, they will pay a price among its green troops and sailors.
