Which is not to blame the ones on the pointed end of the stick. They are doing what they have to do to stay alive. This just illustrates the situation and points out how risky things are when they leave their bases. Which hammers in the Vietnam analogy. Our troops had a similar situation when they left their fire bases. Their only safe place was the fire base, the whole time they were outside, it was war. This video shows a similar situation.
