Yes, I came away from 2 tours of combat with an admiration for the tenacity and combat skills of the average Viet Cong. Giap and Ho Chi Minh were leaders determined to win and it was evident in the men we fought. Many things can be said about this long ago war but their infantry were admirable Soldiers. Brave, cunning, inventive. The average dead Soldier had very little on him. Rifle, handful of cartridges, hammock, a cup of cooked rice rolled in banana leaves and the clothes on his back. His shoes made out of old tires..his belt nylon helocopter harness and the buckle hand made from helo skin. There were many better supplied of course but the point is how little they did with in general.
Amazing that Giap lived to be 102!
