 | A very interesting article. One never hears anything whatsoever of New Zealand's involvement in Vietnam. |

| I remember working with a vet back in the 80's who told me the Koreans were the single most effective counter-insurgency soldiers hes ever seen. Brutally effective and they had a passionate hatred for anything communist.

 | The British sent the S.A.S to Vietnam as 'casual observers'.

| No, they dressed in clown suits. "See, you guys are stupid. They're going to be looking for Army guys..." I think they would have seen some 'casual observors' combat, yes. But don't tell anyone ...

| Like: SAS1: oh look there is a load of Vietcong what are we going to do? SAS2: don't know we are here as casual observers? SAS3: Fire! In no time at all there are no Vietcong. They would have been 'attacked' at some point.
