you said ..... Do you disagree that all the enemy essentially had was hand carried weapons The AAA and SAM's were in NV uhhh the NV was the enemy. Some mortars are hand carried, some are not NVA had both. You are the only person I have everseen classify a land mine as a hand carried weapon. MIGS were virtually non-existent anywhere That has got to be the dumbest thing you have said so far. Tell that to the 35 F4 pilots and 21 F-105 pilots who were shot down by Migs. We lost some B-52's as well to migs. The NV maintained ~140 in the late 60's, over 200 in the 70's MIGS. Almost half of them advance MIG-21's Thats a lot no matter how you look at it. That is a very large number for such a small theater. I see someone else has shot down your no ACES theory. Do some friggen homework, you are clearly ignorant of the circumstances, history and facts of the Vietnam war.
