buddies

You're a bit premature with your thoughts, my insensitive friend. You're not alone with your pain of losing your comrades. But did you ever stop to think that while he may not have lost his buddies, he may very well have lost members of his family, maybe even to the guns of the Americans. I think about the only part he may have been confused on was the part of General Giap being a genius. As a tactician, his methods were antiquated. He caused the deaths of over 100,000 North Vietnamese troops during the Tet offensive. Had it not been for the US reporters covering the offensive and showing it to the American public, the US wouldn't have even blinked at the battle, other than to congratulate themselves on the hard-fought victory. Giap was saved by the media, which turned the tide and scope of the war.
