@OrbitFallenAngel I was at one of our 173rd airborne reunions in DC in 1985 when Playboy was there to interview troops ( they had a presence in Vietnam with Bob Hope tours ). They wanted to interview me about Vietnam and my life afterwards . I told them they wouldn’t print my “ story”. They said they would. After I told them ,they said “we can’t print that “. What they wanted was a story about “ woe is me, the war destroyed my life,etc etc” . I wasn’t going to fall into that trap. They walked away with me smiling in the background

The US troops had a bad habit of walking into clearings en masse . The enemy always had ambushes planned and the US lost dozens of men each time. Sometimes more

@OrbitFallenAngel you missed my point. Ambushes in many cases can be avoided by “ avoiding large open areas and not moving the brunt of your troops over that area at once “. Now ambushes in thick jungle are damn near impossible to avoid other than by just not going into the jungle at all😩
