Yes we could have, and should have. It may require that here, too.
If I'm coming across as some defeatist, that's the wrong impression. That book on the tunnels in Cu-Chi made quite an impression on me. It really laid out how futile and costly our tunnel destruction efforts were in Viet Nam. Our country, with all it's military and industrial might, was stymied by a bunch of little piss-ants who lived in hand made tunnels.
I'm hoping this thread stays bumped long enough that many freepers will check out This tunnel warfare link, and maybe even do some research on their own about our Tunnel Rats. They were one of the largest groups of unappreciated and unsung heros in Viet Nam!
