Dien BIen Phu????????????
Why is that comparison being made? IS the terrain similar....i.e. French in a valley, Minh in the hills.....with arty......
Not understanding this comparison. THe French had no air superiority to exploit to resupply Dien Bien Phu, and hence, it was overrun.
I don't think that is the case here. Please clarify, if possible.
Thanks
That is basically what they are saying.. the TERRAIN is similiar to DIEN BIEN PHU... with a city(Mazar-e-Sharif) in a valley that is surrounded by Mountains...
Actually, the best thing about this is that if the Taliban are retreating from Mazar-e-Sharif, it makes them very good targets during the withdrawal.
