	a number of times the su army was successful in retaingin
contact with the vc, at those times larger weapons could be added to
the fray with devastating results for the vc.  guerillas have to hig
and get out before heave firepower can be trained on them.

	Victor Charlie was willing to die until the US got tired.  as
long as they were willing to die, they could continue to fight.  the
US Army's role in vietnam was ambiguous....nation building, providing
a shield while arvn was strenghtened....
