I agree. In addition to being thousands of miles from the US, the equipment and tactics of the US military were not suited for jungle warfare operations. The jungle canopy allowed for incognito troop/supply movement and relatively successful hit and run small arms ambush attacks. Ukraine has forests but is largely open farmland making any movements easier to detect. Couple that with modern satellite and drone recon will make any long term Ukrainian resistance very difficult
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84148845 The Vietnamese were fighting in their own country with the support of the local population. The locals reported American troop displacements to the insurgent intelligence. They did not report the locations of the insurgents to American intelligence. The situation is the opposite in Ukraine. The Ukrainians are seen by the locals as invaders. Every attempt that they make to hide their forces, gets reported to Russian intelligence. No insurgency can survive without local support. The Ukrainians are more worried about insurgencies on their own territory. That's why they brutally crush all dissent.
