yeah, some of the stats from Hill 875 were crazy.
Another about how they had planned to use the new air mobility command to drop in like 800 guys over the course of a few hourse, but then after they had dropped off like 200 dudes, the LZ was ambushed and they couldn't bring any more guys in for another day or so. and they were outnumbered something crazy like 8 to 1. I think it was part of Rolling Thunder if I'm remembering correctly.
and they flashed a stat that said something like the typical WWII vet saw probalby a total of 10 days of combat in a year; and the average Vietnam vet saw close to 240 days in a year.
I can't imagine.
