And it turns out that when they where completely cut off they didn't have the ability to defeat the NVA.

If Europe had been completely cut off from US aid, Hitler would most likely have won WW II.

re: But then when the north invaded again there was no US soldiers on the ground, no air support, and even no more financial support or re-supply. And it turns out that when they where completely cut off they didn't have the ability to defeat the NVA.

Thanks for supporting my point.

re: 50 mine explosions, small scale and short mortar attacks, sniper attacks, or attacks with at most a handful of gunmen (with rare exceptions of attacks by scores or even over a 100 but probably not 50 in the whole insurgency, let alone per day), isn't a sustained offensive. Sustained offensives take ground, or at least threaten to do so.

Sustained offensives don't have to take ground. Is on average 50 attacks a day not sustained? Is it not offensive?
