He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

My son told me he read the US left so much behind in their retreat from NK that the Chinese who had converted to Russian
cal's by this time gave the booty to the Viet Minh who used it against the French for countless years. I wonder if some was used against the US when they got drawn into that quagmire.
Pretty silly not to light a few fires before retreating to keep the commies from getting the loot.
The book was "On the Street With No Joy", Bernard Fall.

Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?
