Talk:Battle of Ap Bac/@comment-71.49.60.36-20161017184645

It was so funny, the U.S built a new forces in Việt Nam, the 7th Infantry Div. was a new unit designed by US and armed by US weapon (WW II surplus). The US put a Vietnamese Lt Col to command a Division and put a US LtCol for Div advisor, the Vietnamese did not fly the Helicopters, the US did not know the terrain for new APCs not to stuck in the rice paddies where mud rooted so deep All the above cause a big messes as it was. Individuals who fought that battle did not admit their faults, others who were not there blamed that the poor guys did not follow the book. Be fair and honor guys!
