First of all I quarrel with the incredibley stupid statement "Innocent Vietnamese". All the ones I shot or called air or arty on, were wearing uniforms and shooting at me. Since I was up in the DMZ, there were no villages anywhere around. And when I left in '69, we were winning. The way I look at it, I shot enough of them to get me home... As for history, we learned enough about guerilla warfare to arm the Afghans, bleed the Russian Army dry, and win the Cold war without firing a shot. Remember, it is Communism that is on the ash heap of history... And soon the radical Muslims will join them...
