re: The True History Of How Vietnam Was Lost

The NVA were the best and most fanatical enemy soldiers ever faced by US military forces.

You're joking, right?

Many would have good points about other enemy soldiers we've faced in history, but, I would argue that, at best, they were equals to the NVA/VC.

---

And what would you have to back up that argument?

quote:

---

The Japanese soldier was also fanatical, but, I submit that the NVA/VC were more tactically proficient.

---

There are verified instances of Japanese field forces inflicting heavy casualties and even battlefield defeats on US forces, including largest surrender of American forces since the Civil War. As for eh NVA, there was not even one instance of them inflicting anything resembling even a minor defeat on American forces during the Vietnam War.

Those little NVA/VC bastards were some seriously good soldiers.

They were good, but I'd not put them in the same category as Japanese Special Naval Landing Forces or the Waffen SS.
