are these people smart at all? Before the news got to the media won't those bandits have left the place. How about sending in a drone or reconnaissance aircraft to check the entire area? No. They rode in that noisy and smoky contraption they just newly welded together and expect the bandits will drum them a festive welcome.
Mr smart did u know the full details of the operation at all... U guys make a lot of unwarranted conclusion to the extent of belittling the professionals

from my sources:
''They go way back, mid 70s - shoulder to shoulder with the Army's 20th Airborne SpOps Group. The sort of exploits in East & Central Africa going back 4 decades''

Wow! Thought it was wayyyy more recent considering the army sniper unit was only recently,maybe 2012 reactivated with training provided by a Brit sharpshooter.

this is shocking

The state of the US military in Vietnam post 68 was terrible! Not just fragging but rampant hard drug use specifically heroin,combat refusal,racist attacks that divided some units and astronomical crime rates had shattered their combat effectiveness.
The issue of "combat refusal", and official euphemism for disobedience of orders to fight -- the soldier's gravest crime – has only recently been again precipitated on the frontier of Laos by Troop B, 1st Cavalry's mass refusal to recapture their captain's command vehicle containing communication gear, codes and other secret operation orders.

As early as mid-1969, however, an entire company of the 196th Light Infantry Brigade publicly sat down on the battlefield. Later that year, another rifle company, from the famed 1st Air Cavalry Division, flatly refused -- on CBS-TV -- to advance down a dangerous trail.
https://libcom.org/history/vietnam-collapse-armed-forces

Mind you the Ist Aircav,aka the first team is classified as an Elite unit.

At a recent high commanders’ conference, General Westmoreland and other senior generals heard the report from Germany that in many units white soldiers are now afraid to enter barracks alone at night for fear of "head-hunting" ambushes by blacks.

In the quoted words of one soldier on duty in West German, "I’m much more afraid of getting mugged on the post than I am of getting attacked by the Russians."

Other reports tell of jail-delivery attacks on Army stockades and military police to release black prisoners, and of officers being struck in public by black soldiers. Augsburg, Krailsheim, and Hohenfels are said to be rife with racial trouble. Hohenfels was the scene of a racial fragging last year – one of the few so recorded outside Vietnam.

In Ulm, last fall, a white noncommissioned officer killed a black soldier who was holding a loaded .45 on two unarmed white officers.

Elsewhere, according to Fortune magazine, junior officers are now being attacked at night when inspecting barracks containing numbers of black soldiers.

Kelley Hill, a Ft. Benning, Ga., barracks area, has been the scene of repeated nighttime assaults on white soldiers. One such soldier bitterly remarked, "Kelley Hill may belong to the commander in the daytime but it belongs to the blacks after dark."

Typically,the white writer doesn't say if these acts are reactive! The crime stats at even Stateside
barracks were smth from a horror movie.

According to the personnel chief of one of the Army’s major units, unauthorized absence, historically the services’ top disciplinary problem, is now being crowded by the thefts. Barracks theft destroys trust and mutual loyalty among men who ought to be comrades and who must rely absolutely on each other in combat. It corrodes morale and is itself an indicator of impossible conditions in a fighting unit.

At Ft. Bragg, primarily because of addict thieves, soldiers in many units cannot even keep bedding on their bunks in barracks. After what used to be reveille, they strip their bunks of bedding and cram it away under lock and key with whatever valuables they dare keep on hand.

Radios, sports gear, tape decks, and cameras – let alone individual equipment – are stolen on sight.
Unlocked cars, on the manicured streets of this fine old post, are more likely to be stolen than not. Fayetteville, according to soldiers, abounds with off-post fences who will pay pennies for Army blankets and higher amounts for just about anything else.

Unhappily, conditions at Ft. Bragg are not unusual.

Soldier muggings and holdups are on the rise everywhere. Ft. Dix, N.J., has a higher rate of on-post crime than any base on the East Coast. Soldier muggings are reported to average one a night, with a big upsurge every pay-day. Despite 450 MP’s (one for every 55 soldiers stationed there – one of the highest such rations in the country) no solution appears in sight.

And these guys would have fought the Russians if the Cold War suddenly went hot!?

Some drug use stats.

Heroin started flowing more freely into Vietnam from Cambodia in 1970, a consequence of that nation’s civil war. According to a Pentagon study, by 1973 up to 20 percent of soldiers were habitual heroin users.

Let me leave with a quote from a top battlefield leader:
General Matthew B. Ridgway, one of the Army’s finest leaders in this century (who revitalized the shaken Eighth Army in Korea after its headlong rout by the Chinese in 1950) recently said, "Not before in my lifetime … has the Army’s public image fallen to such low esteem …"

The quality of the content, posts and contributions of a number of the posters in this thread is so low. This thread used to be educative, everybody learns something new. Now it's drab, so I stopped posting.
