Why the Battle for Hamburger Hill Was So Controversial After 10 days of bruising battle, U.S. forces took the hill, only to abandon it days later. Sniper fire was so intense, one soldier called it 'a human meat grinder.' BY: BARBARA MARANZANI UPDATED: OCTOBER 3, 2023 \| ORIGINAL: MAY 18, 2018 history.com Harkins thinks much of the controversy surrounding Hamburger Hill can be attributed to misconceptions of the mission’s true aims. “The battle got caught up in (old) WWII terminology about capturing terrain,” he says. “In Vietnam, as long as there were no bad people on that hill, that hill had no significance. We didn’t fight it for terrain, we fought it to destroy a (enemy) force.” Applicable to Ukraine & Russia.
