Like I said in a previous response to the Taliban blowing up yet more buildings and ruining more lives this time in Ghazini[sp]; "Re-run...Tet 1968.
And that orgy of mindless destruction also was followed up in 1969 in a feeble and casualty saturated attempt to garner more headlines in the press. The B-52's had a field day on the ho chi mihn trail that year. I have the interview of a greatly disillusioned NVN colonel who lead the bumbling attempt on Bien Hoa, my base in 1969. It consists of his comments in his handwriting and photo in the form of a leaflet dropped on the shattered remnants of his now greatly reduced and trapped unit. He had been captured. Talk about being hoodwinked. Bring your can openers those young believers were told when they started down "uncle" ho's trail.

I'll start - Men we know the enemy and he'll break all we need to do is stay the course and I'll assure you there is light at the end of the tunnel. NATO is here and the Senegalese who died to hold the Salang Tunnel give us time to replace Mr. Pence Executive Solutions consultants - That said Your Nights are long and Air Support is limited due to losses and Spare parts and lastly this is where you come in ... You Orders are to retake all roads from Kandahar to Chaman - It will be hard and there will be no resupply or intelligence once the operation starts We can't B2 or B52 a path because we need the roads intact. If low on fuel commender it - If low on ammo improvise but at 1400 hrs your resupply will be waiting for you at Chaman - Limit your radio use because if the Taliban know your are going to Chaman you'll be cut off - That resupply is too important to cross the border unescorted - Therefore your dinner is there - To the few who make it the Secretary will say okay and to those who don't the Secretary deny this mission, because the public will ask too many questions - Your Major will divide up the tasks! That is all and good luck. Myself and the Colonel will see you in Chaman
