...not only that Missiler but I am unable to connect what Welshwarrior's post has to do with mine?

No, you misunderstand what I'm saying. Technology is only one factor in warfare. Mass is another factor and is, in fact, one of the origional principles of warfare as enumerated by Clauswitz.
So in Vietnam, mass overpowered technology but is that really an unlikely victory? Or is it really just simply the MASS overpowering the numerical multipliers that technology gives, which is what happened.
the north vietnamese didn't defeat the US forces, the US media & public opinion did.
Welshwarrior said:I do agree with all of that chewie, I am not sure if I am quoting this correctly but someone did say, "war is too serious to be run by the military" Maybe that should be amended to something along the lines of, "war is too serious to be run by civilians"
I think I should get a good response for that post

Might wanna peruse your own links.
Big difference in "blowing up" an MBT as opposed to disabling it.
