re: Could any strategy have worked in Vietnam?

You should only make war if you make total war. Any war that isn’t total war is detrimental to both sides, is inhumane, and a complete waste of time, resources, and money.

Go in with the mindset to kill every last man woman and child. No quarter given, no quarter taken.

You bring your total and complete might and absolutely crush your opponent as quickly and effieicently as you can, or you don’t go in at all.
