!st Indo-China War (French vs VietMinh): Isolated non-supporting outposts, some even manned by bad-ass French Foreign Legionaires were merely secure commie weapons warehouses. Comrade commander I need a shiny new US M1 carbine. No problem Comrade private, we'll hit Outpost RP03 tonight and you can pick and choose the one you like best. 2nd such war (US Vietnam War): The same.
