I may have mentioned this to you before - but we killed a Chinese advisor in Vietnam about 20 miles southwest of Danang. He was riding in a sampan and our sniper shot him through the neck at about 300m and his body fell in the river.
We fished him out and the lieutenant got his silver ring - this guy was big, about 6 feet tall - and his ring slipped easily over my thumb!
So they had advisors working with them against us.

Good shooting. This is what gets me with all the bellyaching from ostensible right-wingers about merely supplying the Ukies with outdated Russian equipment and our table scraps. Meanwhile, the Russians and the Chinese were sending some of their guys to tangle with ours in Korea and Vietnam. That’s on top of providing their state-of-the-art equipment to kill Americans in both locales. And as of now, between Afghanistan and Ukraine, the Russian to US kill ratio by being the armorer for third countries is still 3 to 1, given that we lost 100,000 in Korea and Vietnam vs Russia’s 33,000, if you take Ukraine’s most optimistic numbers (20,000) and the Soviet Union’s (likely lowballed) Afghan War friendly dead numbers (13,000) at face value.
