It was an utter disaster, everything went wrong. All 4 radios failed! Eleven gunmen got away and I almost got myself killed. Saved by a private who risked his life for mine. Will be eternally grateful. Learned more in that hour than in one year at RMAS because there is nothing like experience! Also taught me the importance of planning and good NCOs.

The only Malaysian to be awarded the George Cross was an Iban tracker attached to the Worcestershire Regiment in 1952 during the First Malayan Emergency. His platoon was ambushed by communists in southern Malaya. Platoon leader was killed. He was shot in the thigh but stayed to protect a 19-year-old private for hours.. something like from the morning until the afternoon when reinforcement arrived. He died earlier this year but for many years before that, he got to leave his rural village in Borneo to meet the Queen in London along with other VC and GC recipients.

That had nothing to do with it. The US mainland and its people were subverted by communist infiltration in our schools and government. This took away our willingness to fight and win and created a mass distrust of government for the very first time. Americans knew just fine how to fight and win in jungles as they did in WWII less than 20 years prior to our first armed incursions into Vietnam. The larger question, communist subversion aside, is _was it really necessary for us to fight there? _ The answer is no.

[@blitzer3973]

@@drott150 Most American engagements in the Pacific were island hoping battles, they didn't have as much time on mainland pacific countries compared to the commonwealth forces in the Pacific, and exception probably being the Philippines. They weren't fully prepared/ trained for a full scale guerrilla battle in Vietnam, they did slowly adjust to how to fight it however. Australia also had protest against the war like many of the other combatants and this "communist propaganda" about it infiltrating schools is just stupid, WW2 was still having a toll on the American people and they didn't want to send more young boys to die in another useless war. Vietnam was not like WW2, the Japanese were a professionally trained Army, the basic Vietcong soldier was not, it was a completely different war for the Americans. the Malay conflict was an awakening for the Commonwealth forces in South East Asia, the same influence that took part in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos etc. American's aren't the best jungle soldiers, you can leave that to the armies that are trained to deal in those environments.

There were also a number of former SAS (British ) who served in Vietnam, Robin Letts for example.

Not possible to approach a sentry and knife him in daylight unless he’s asleep as it is near impossible not to make any sound walking in the jungle.
