I hear a lot about the war from old timers at my pub and its always something to the effect of "if the vc fought a conventional war woth us we would have won"
How the fuck is America dropping 500,000 tonnes of napalm over civilian populations conventional??
Also what does a modern "conventional war" entail?

Napalm is some nasty shit 4 parts gasoline, 2 parts palm syrup extract and 2 parts some other chemical who's name escapes me.
To my limited understanding a 'conventional war' is fighting by the rules set by the Americans, which is essentially bombing/napalming the shit out of stuff and having combatants fight 'toe to toe' against each other.
In other words this conventional war would have bee fucking dumb for the Vietnamese to engage in. They actually realised this very quickly and turned to guerrilla warfare instead. The Americans seemed to think that this was 'no fair' and against 'the rules'. In war there are no rules in my opinion.

EXACTLY you are INTELIGENT!

This guy gets it, GREAT post.
Shit wrong account haha
Na seriously I agree Ben, I dont want to upset the old blokes at the pub (Public bar you know the rules) but I so want to ask them.
The Vietnamese are the Afghans of Asia, their land does not treat invaders well, might be a reason your lot steered clear of them and the frogs?
Anyways the more the sepos cry about conventional wars while outgunning their adversaries the more history will hate them. If you turn on the Tellie youll notice that theyre doing it again.....not good yeah?

The American war in Vietnam is a travesty. I think you know and share my opinions on this already.
Americans have never won a war of aggression when acting without the help of other countries, and they have been at war pretty much constantly since America was formed in 1776, out of war.
To call Americans war mongers is not being rude. It's just a fact.

- I find that it's funny that is a more forgotten war, we study the second war more.(I know that was bigger) and the golf war more too.
Maybe because is more recent?
