The Ho Chi Minh Trail is covered by tropical rain forest; it’s very wet, dense, and filled with many dangerous things like poisonous snakes, bugs, leeches, and the most dangerous of all: mosquitoes. Most Vietnamese who died on the Ho Chi Minh Trail succumbed to malaria

I guess it was pretty fast to re-route traffic , and repair basic roads. NO dis on the misty men , just one of many reasons why MORE Light Infantry could have changed things.

I was in school while this was going never new of the extreme danger these young men were in at that time.only now as a senior citizen do I recognize the guts this took for this group to perform this service.and of course news media never covered this,mostly it was the protest at home about the war.

In 1959 my grandfather(then a warrant officer Seabees) was the team leader of the first Zorro team inserted into Laos to scout out HCM trail junctions, bridges and the like in Cambodia, Laos. They operated as civilians, all military connections were wiped clear. It is brought up in the book "Building the Bases".

27 May 1964 LBJ talked Vietnam with Senator Richard Russell. They concluded that any attempt at victory would mean a general war with China. They also concluded that bombing supply lines would fail because it had failed in Korea. The men in this video were knowing dent on a fool's errand by LBJ.

Great videos - but the first 10 minutes can't help me think we're repeating the same mistakes with not hitting Russian air/anti air assets in Russia and making the same damn mistakes asking Ukraine to fight with one arm tied behind their back. We got North Korean/Iranian missiles being fired into Ukraine... So why can't Ukraine do the same thing? The line has already been crossed.
