Dai>  Are you a 'Nam vet?  If you are then you know exactly what I was speaking about.  I was involved in an op with the 1st ARVN Div and the 101st ABN Div.  Op was to assault the Ashau Valley, where there was supposedly 2 NVA battalions.  They said this was a highly classified op but nobody told the NVA that.  They were waiting for us and kicked our butt.  So much for US intel!!!  Your post is spot on, Dai!  Have a nice evening.
