July 1970 I was 14 yrs old
Fire support base Ripcord doesn't sound like a good place to be.
Sounds more like another miscalculation that cost American Lives.

"Trying to fight the enemy in his back yard, but avoid casualties, was contradictory. It Backfired."
THAT is what the brass desperately needs to relearn, that avoiding casualties isn't possible.
And we here 'at home' need to remember this as well.
No matter how the press plays it up.

Sam's not likely to become an evil overlord.
U hear tell he's too much of a 'nice guy', except in that game "steel Panthers"...

If SAMWolf became an evil overlord...

Afternoon Darksheare.
This "avoid casualties at all costs" mentality doesn't work when you want to win.
Arresting, detaining, holding, avoid collateral damage, etc just puts our troops at greater risk
