One
of the most asked question I received when I came home from How
can this be? The US Viet Nam war was in three distinct phases. The first
phase was the guerrilla war fighting the Viet Cong from about 1962 thru
TET in February 1968. It was mostly Viet Cong forces that conducted the
attacks that TET. And those Viet Cong forces were wiped out and destroyed.
After February 1968 we did not see much guerrilla warfare in When
Nixon was elected and took office in January 1969 he started a program
called “Vietnamization”, Training Vietnamese to conduct their own war.
I was a helicopter flight instructor after my first tour. I had lots of
South Vietnamese students at Ft Wolters |
