If UW were online, he would tell you that, in Nam, in the same situation, he could usually call in arty.

Or an airstrike.
Or lead an assault.

In WWII we would have taken the village and moved on to the next village. In Nam we would have taken the village, pulled back, taken the village, pulled back, taken the village.....

We've evolved beyond all that and now don't bother taking the village in the first place. Everybody maintains their self esteem.
