Feel like this is really belittling to the VC and PAVN, the Ho Chi Minh trail is rightfully known as one of the greatest achievements of military engineering in the 20th century.
The North Vietnamese military didn’t win because America was just that incompetent, they had arguably a couple of the best generals in modern history. I mean they defended against the armies of France, America, cambodia and China within a couple decades.

Sir, I am sorry we can’t sell you a shamrock shake…this is a Wendy’s.
Sobs uncontrollably.
I know it wasn’t anything like this, but for some reason this is one of the scenarios I imagined.
And they said we couldn’t run a nation solely using the power of massive amounts of cognitive dissonance…
What do they sell during Honkbal Hoofdklasse?
I mean yeah… Far right is kinda a big part of distinguishing authoritarian left vs authoritarian right. I think the only way you could possibly conflate the two is by ignoring economics.
Actually probably one of the more humane ways to kill someone. My dad worked in aeronautical physiology for the Air Force and for the FAA, mostly working on altitude chambers and centrifuges. For a while he had a record at holloman AFB for longest time sustained at 8gs.
Apparently a G-loc can give you a euphoria and depersonalization similar to doing acid.
If that ancestor also can track it down, maybe.
I mean, considering one of our ancestors had to at some point catch one to ride, I’m sure they could manage.
You… probably not.
Probably is gracious of you, considering I haven’t been hunting in like 20 years.
Nah, we min maxed for this already. I mean not me, I’m terrible at running. But I imagine if you go back far enough one of my ancestors was good enough at long distance running that we could eventually chase that horsey down and bang it in the head with a rock when it’s all tired out.
That’s kinda what I was thinking, the Korean use of Neh can be flexible enough to be used as a past particle. The Japanese like to ignore or outright white wash the influence and impact of Korean culture on the island.
Yeah, Giáp is undeniably one of the greatest minds in modern military history. Not only did he defeat some of the most powerful militaries in the world, he did so in strategically different positions.
I can’t think of another commander who excelled against an occupying force as an insurgent, was successful in counter insurgency, and defeated a better armed opponent in a head to head battle.
You’re totally right, if America had a general as successful everything in the US military would be named after them, we’d never hear the end of it.
