We weren't familiar with the environment and they were. We could have turned their whole country into a parking lot with the money we spent. Instead of doing that, we kept bringing over tanks and shit thinking we'd be able to fight. However, they didn't send "soldiers" out in uniforms. . they just fought with guerrilla warfare which only worked because they were comfortable and knowledge in the environment in which we were fighting. It didn't really have anything to do with military strength. . we definately had the stronger military. They used the environment to their advantage, though.

We shouldn't have gone into Vietnam in the first place. I really don't think that if communism spread to Vietnam all of Europe would fall to it. Whatever.
