The Americans could've used the Brits' insight into counter-insurgency more than 40 years ago. Lessons learned by the British during the Malay Emergency, and their tactics in dealing with Communist insurgents in the jungles on the penninsula, could've been used to great effect by the Americans in Vietnam.
It's good to see the Americans getting the help and training now. Hopefully it will help.

The NITAT? Don't recognise the PWO guy or the Royal Irish officer. Anyone know any more - been away all week and not caught much of the news on BBC.
