The Vietnam War, Pete. Remember?
Read Hackworth's book, or the book on John Paul Vann, to discover how counter-productive terrorising the population was, as a tactic.
Gee,and I didn't even know I had lost it. I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to all the VN vets out there for losing the VN war.

I don't need to read anything Hackworth wrote. I was in VN at the same time he was. I read John Paul Vann during the early 60's,before I went to VN. There was another famous book about VN that was almost required reading at Bragg too,but I can't remember what it was now. None of that applied to me or the operations I ran. We took the enemies warfare methods right back to them in what they thought were safe havens.
BTW,PLEASE point out to me anywhere that I stated we should be terrorizing the "population". I stated that the way to win a war against terrorism is to terrorize the terrorists. Unless YOU are now claiming that all Muslims are terrorists?
BTW-2,are you a Muslim?
His name is not Pete. He was SF and was a Sneaky Pete who operated with a SOG unit in the out country. They wrote the book.
