 | Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth 2 | |
 | "Not that I should say, but...." | 2009-02-22 |
| this is more of a wish that a review. What do I know about games? Not much. I have had Battlefield Vietnam for years and still can not drive a jeep. I asked for a list of commands and the answer was "If you don't know, we are not about to tell." But after my time in Vietnam (three tours) I want a game to insert a modern Infantry division (I favor the First Infantry Division with organic armor, artillery and aviation) into Middle Earth. I want choppers to go after Nazgul and some armor to field. We will take the Division up to Sauron and pull him down. I may buy this game. No tanks to drive and I might get used to a sword. But if you are going to upgrade this program, let us put up an Infantry Division aganst Sauron. We will be back for the weekend. With his hide. | ||
 | A Better War: The Unexamined Victories and Final Tragedy of America's Last Years in Vietnam | |
 | "A step in the right direction" | 2000-01-03 |
| This well researched book answers some of the questions I had about Robert McNamara's book (Argument Without End) by examining the 1972 offensive and its use of newer sources (such as DeForest). I personally interviewed many of the NVA who particiapted in the An Loc offensive. Later I heard from a well placed source that the NVA was within days of a surrender during the bombing. Others have discredited that story, but one wonders if it were true or not. I hope that Sorley has the opportunity to read more of the Vietnamese literature and to talk to the Vietnamese. IF is always open to speculation, but one wonders if a victory of the south in 75 would have ended it. I don't think so. However, it is difficult to support the idea that the war could not be won. After all, we did much better in Korea. Can someone explain why it was so different in Vietnam? | ||
