The man is truly amazing.
And if he had been in a combat role in SEA instead of a non combatant role,
he would have ended the war single handedly. There would not be a VC alive
today.

Killing all the VC wasn't enough to win the war. We did that, nearly,
during Tet of 68 and still lost. There were these Northerners with
guns, you see. VC, NVA, it made no difference, they all were non
Christian Gomers that didn't speak English, with Communist guns.

Too bad we didn't learn the lessons of Vietnam before Bush invaded Iraq.
It doesn't matter how many "insurgents" we kill, and it doesn't matter
when we leave. As soon as we do, Iraq will be blown up by its various
factions.
