  1. well on the flip side they pushed the US and nato forces back to th 38th parallel by themselves... and fought to a standstill unil the armistice of 1953... let that sink in. a dirt poor country like china was able to hold the US and nato off by itself. the same US that defeated germany and japan in WW2.

  2. uh... even back in ww2 you only land the troops and supplies on the beach when the beachhead and surrounding areas have been cleared. the famous D-day landings for example was a blunder. the shorre bombardments and aerial bombings were all off and missed. the only interest amphibious landings that were not a blunder in the sense where they expected siff resistance was iwo jima and okinawa. these were anticipated of a dug in opponent. now of ourse nowadays you would need to clear any missile launchers and artillery more inland with missiles and bombing runs

  3. if you got helicopters for island hopping.. than use the bloody helicopters. the baots are good for unloading large vehicles/cargo. using boats to land troops on islands now takes too much time.
