There's always one in that crowd of idjits who understands what's going on. Because I've seen it happen, and seen the little birds shot to shit and the blood hosed out. Night after night, no resistance, or resistance quickly dispatched to its eternal reward. And then, one night, someone understands cover, how we move, who goes where first. Yeah, he goes to his reward, too, but not without taking a few of us with him. Beware that one, and don't gloat over the masses of dead idjits. Besides, after five years, there still are plenty of idjits willing to mass and meet us toe to toe. Where the Hell do they keep coming from? Lex, just remember that golden BB, or Colonel Toom.

Doesn't hurt to arm-wrestle and prove it from time to time.

After Vo Nguyen Giap et al had their respective clocks cleaned post Tet they were ready to throw in the towel. Then they heard the U.S. 5th column led by Cronkite tell them in effect, "just hang in their, we will defeat the U.S. military for you". That was enough to convince Giap to drive on. The rest is history. This same 5th column is active re. Ralph in your previous post. They desire our defeat, and will continue to work to ensure it. Lex,
