    At what cost human and materiel with the gunships roaming at will dropping a 105mm on anything that looked like a truck - the VC didn't have much success in a fight it was only after the "peace" treaty and the NVA invading in a more traditional manner.

    Yeah my first job (at a world leading organization) was on the Campus at Cranfield University the university that looked down on Oxbridge Harvard etc as you could do a first degree there (BSC/BA) - Cranfield at the time only did Masters and Phd's. The boss of my company was the head of the mechanical engineers and the chancellor of Cranfield was the head of the Civil engineers.
