Hi,
It is truly a pity and shame to see a well respect member like yourself downplay the victorious strategies employed by the Vietnamese and fall pray to the American excuse of "Not trying."
The Vietnam war is a marvelous war to look into the tactics and strategies used by each side. It is a pity to downplay these strategies and credit success to the enemy for not trying rather then tactics.

Hi,
I really appreciate your candor----. Incidently---I learnt about the capabilities of the americans even when the Pakistani general staff were clueless to what they were---and to top it of---even the Chinese general staff were more clueless to what the americans could do----and a layman like me was wondering---what the fcuk are these people thinking.
Just because the americans let you----does not mean that you have it.
You know of operation linebacker 2----that was just the whiff of American might----you know what happened with the Vietnamese delegation after the first 24 hours in Paris-----they were holding onto the feet of the American delegation----to please forgive their arrogance for Gods sake and please forgive their ignorance of not understanding the might of the American military----the Vietnamese begged them and told them that what they had believed that they were---they just realized that they were nothing close to what they thought---so please forgive them and stop the bombing of Hanoi---the americans let them have it for 7 days---just to make sure---death and destruction of Hanoi was final.
The myth of the Vietcong and Vietnam forces got buried in the rubble of Hanoi after the Linebacker 2
Ironically---Saddam thought the same of the americans----he forgot the Linebacker 2 and remembered the rest of the war----his military was decimated in the first 24 hours---.
Pakistani General Mirza Aslam thought the same as well and warned the americans to be vary of the Iraqis----and the Chinese thought that they were going to have the last laugh on the expense of americans----the shockwaves that went thru Beijing rattled the whole of china and they have still not settled their shattered nerves after the first 4 days of the first Iraq war---even after almost quarter of a century later------AND YOU ARE SAYING WHAT?????????
But on the other hand----Gen Musharraf----how bad the people may talk about him----but he was smart and knowledgeable about the capabilities of the americans---he knew what the americans would do to the country.
So---here is the time for Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard-----" Pancho "
Pancho was a bandit boy
His horse was fast as polished steel
He wore his gun outside his pants
For all the honest world to feel
Pancho met his match, you know
On the deserts down in Mexico
Nobody heard his dyin' word
Oh but that's the way it goes
All the Federales, they say
They could have had him any day
They only let him slip away
Out of kindness I suppose
F-35 will have better chances of early detection... superior firepower...and ability to hightail and escape but unless it has really bad pilot I don't think it can be defeated by Jf-17 or f-16.
Wow! really great anylysis. Kudos Bro
Hi,
There is always uncertainty in war---things happen that you don't expect----there are so many reasons for it and then there are no reasons why they happen as they do---.
Even though----it is not meant to---a merge will occur----it is supposed to happen regardless of what anyone says anything about it---so then even a MIG 21 BIS could have a victory dance.
