Typical machead elitist. You're getting beat by a bunch of PCs. "I got the greatest tool, so therefore I win.". Nope. You're going into a kitchen with a can of RAID, trying to kill a nest of cockroaches. WON'T WORK. Tried that in VietNam, got EMBARASSED. Got beat by a bunch of rice-eaters in sandals, backpacks. Overview Tape #93 (BUI TIN) As an insider, high-up official in the North Vietnamese government during the war, Bui Tin sheds some light on what strategies the North Vietnamese government employs to fight and defeat its enemies: South Vietnamese troops and particularly American troops. How an army with limited resources and weapons can defeat its enemy, which is equipped with almost unlimited resources and advanced weapons. What is the secret? .... 10. 24:55 Concerning our experience with bomber B-52, just hearing about the bomber scares us, but direct experience makes us less fearful. [25.31] The more experience we have, the less fear we get. [25.22] Why so? Because the bombing occurs in a straight line; therefore, we can avoid it by staying to either side of this straight line. We can be safe by hiding in dugout holes. So I can say that B-52 bombing have not that great an effect on the fighting because its effect is intimidation or dampens our fighting spirit. [26.00] And I can say the number of our soldiers get killed by B-52 in battlefields is less than that of our civilians who live in the North near Hai Phong. 11. 27:10 We have many ways to cover and hide our troops. [27.20] First, we use forest, mountain, and cave. Second, we keep moving, many times to many places even within one day. Third, we confuse our enemy about where we are by deception, like cooking in open fire, letting the smoke rise up at one place, but staying at another one. We also mislead our enemy about our position through radio communication so they can not find us. 12. 28:50 We mater our natural surroundings and make plan in advance. We try to predict how our enemy will react if we make our move this way or that way. [24.20] It turns out that we are very successful with this because American troops also follow certain pre-determined rules. 13. 29:40 Talking about American�s combat skills, it varies from unit to unit. Some are very good and very determined to fight while others are not that great and inconsistent. [30.00] Compared to French troops, I find Americans are not as highly motivated and skillful. I myself have previous fighting experience with Senegal and Moroccan soldiers who fight in the French army and make my comparison. [30.29] I think the main reason is that many American soldiers come over here and fight for one or two and go home; they are not professional soldiers. [30.43] The pilots come and complete, say 100 sorties and are done with. [31.00] Another reason, I can say many of them don�t understand the purpose of this war; they can�t rationalize the cause. 14. 31:20 About knowing our enemy, this is a must for us for the reason that we, a small country with limited resources, are fighting against a superpower with advanced weapons and numerous resources. We study very hard the details of every battle we have with them and draw some conclusions out of that, then we send people out to share these information with our troops as fast as we can in order to better prepare our troops for their next fight. It is our firm belief that we must know our enemy in order to defeat them.
