biggest problem with ARVN is that they fighting American way while they are not American , that why there are a lot of complain about lack of ammunition by the ARVN who flee to the American after the war , blaming the reason they lost are because American betray them and cut off weapon supply , while infact there are quite a lot of ammunition left in they warehouse , the problem are they logistic is not on par with America , while American troop where still in south Vietnam it not a problem cause if they need ammunition the American logistic system can supply them , once the America are withdrew the logistic system go with them and the south Vietnam logistic cant supply the south Vietnam troop the way they fight ( if you seen American soldier fight in Vietnam that pretty much how the south fight , hear a gun sound = dump entire mag , that the way how newbie in nva and later vpa soldier do in Vietnam war and Cambodia , a vet will shot a short burst and rarely used up they issue 120 round in a contact , while a newbie will empty they mag in full auto or long burst and used up they 120 round issue ammunition in a contact , I think the afghan also have same issue , they fight like American who have logistic system to support = they can fight rich way man , once those American troop are withdrew , afghan army will have a hard time with logistic if they don't change the way they fight

That white mansion with the blue shutters looks suspiciously familiar.......the John Wayne movie : The Green Berets, the mansion they raided to kidnap the NVA General and wisk him off with the Fulton Recovery System, the mansion looked almost exactly like that......weird

the picture caption say , the building was head of quang tri provincial chief building ( btw I love how they used tinh truong , provincial chief sound like how kmt call they provincial chief during those time too , a lot of arvn in America complain that modern Vietnam used way too much han-viet word ( sino-viet) while they also used a lot of han-viet word them self kinda dumb to used word at politic attack ( btw interest fact korea-japan-Vietnam have around 60% of Chinese loan word in our language ,back in the day the Chinese was like rome in far east )
