Being able to win against Vietnamese rice farmers would be a good start.

being fast and cruel when invading.
being slow and sneaky when defending

Leaves unit to their own devices. Less progressive policies is a fucking start

memes and diversity

Unity and discipline, both of which the establishment is trying to tear apart within our own ranks to make the new world order transition run smoother.

Morale and a strong military tradition.

How do you defend against insecticide?

Please, we beat them. Afterwards, we just left the country in the hands of incompetent gooks.

Thought the sign said nigger hall for a sec.

No women

Being able to win against a bunch of colonial farmers is another.

Action. Simple as that.

A military you don't use is no military at all.

FUCKING SHREKT

Order, hierarchy, and discipline. This will lead to good morale and an effective fighting force.

Ruthless violence and efficiency.

Fuck the Geneva convention and "war laws"

...

This to be honest you need strong NCOs and officers. You can't have soldiers be leaderless if someone gets greased.

To subdue the enemy without fighting.

...

That can come back and bite you in the ass though. If you take no prisoners then the enemy will just fight to the death instead. Making their job all the harder.

Tactics, training, equipment and leadership (civilian / military).

Lots of joes of losing trust on NCOs
NCOs are losing hope with officers
Officers are losing ground and time

Logistics

morale, organization, and talented NCO's.

A man can be completely destroyed, but not defeated.

You never beat them. You kept killing them, you kept bombing them, but you never got that victory.

Holding the initiative

this sounds like something out of dwarf fortress

Militarily we destroyed them. The common saying of a GI at the time was we never lost a battle but sill lost the war. Also Vietnam was shitshow from the start never should of gotten involved in the first place.

Lol wut fuck off. The chief goal of any military conflict is to degrade the enemy forces by any means any thing else is secondary. -Clausewitz.

They achieved their objectives while you failed to achieve yours.

Don't be like that Kraut quoting k/d every time ww2 gets mentioned.


About getting involved though, i agree, never should have went into the damn war with crackhead soldiers whose goal is getting out alive rather than winning.

>Hiroshima and Nagasaki
The goal of any war is to win it as quickly as possible to prevent further loss of life. If people want to fight to the bitter end despite being destroyed then they deserve to be destroyed and wiped from existence.

The will of the fight, plain and simple.

Ensuring your soldiers are properly educated on the dangers of sexual assault/harassment and how to properly treat cold/hot weather injuries.

True but my point is that Vietnam was not lost by the US military. it was lost by the government the Military itself performed very well.

Right in the War Feels

Agreed, when it came to the fighting at least. The discipline issues are well recorded though.

On a sidenote, the Vietnam war had the best music. Can't wait for Rising Storm 2 to mow down some yellow men in the black pajamas

True that but that's what you get with draftee's. and fuck yeah it did. Also RS2 looks sweet is it supposed to be like a new Battlefield Vietnam?

This is exactly the difference in philosophy the US ran in to. The gooks didn't care how many soldiers they lost as long as the bodies ended up on film.
They intended from the beginning to misdirect, confuse, and aggravate the US military leadership until they looked incompetent enough for the civvy govt to call the war off.

Yeah, basically.

Last i've read on it was 64 players on a server, USA gets napalm strikes and other cool shit, gooks get tunnels and booby traps.

Seems bretty good

Oh shit thanks for turning me on to this legit hadn't heard anything about it.

Maximum REKT

Evolution and adaptability.

>Bullets.
>Beans.
>Band-aids.
'40s memes aside: supply, communication, mewvment, combined arms, violence of action, initiative, unconventionalism, and good judgement from small unit leaders.

...

Experience

...

And discipline too.

Soldiers and officers should obey without questions

You were involved there with the French before the Americans.

>when my 'witty' countrymen get btfo.

this is what I get living on an island of faggots

...

>Manpower
>Technological superiority
>Lack of tactical restrictions

Pick two. You cannot win with just one.

The US loses its fight in the middle east because we're hampered by the UN and Geneva (no bombing civvies, no torturing POWs, etc), and we're not willing to take losses. Our tech is kick ass but that's all we have.

You can with with asymmetrical warfare + manpower. We did it against the brits. Or, you can win with total war + tech.

The bottom line is that you can't pussy foot around. It's war. Treat it like such and you'll win.
