Irrelevant. How many aircraft were shot down has nothing to do with the question I originally addressed. You're picking nits.

Actually I was talking about surviving the bombing and fighting on.

That had nothng to do with Oberon's original question, which I answered. It's always more complex than can be stated without a full-page tome, then and now.

I was just pointing out that due to the other factors involved N. Vietnam is an example that does not answer the question.

The soldiers in the field survived the bombings. Not through airpower or foreign backing. All that bombing just failed to kill them. Yes, you're right; they recieved a lot of help to keep them supplied, which helped keep them going. I only spoke to their surviving the bombings.

Possibly through the environment though, and Vietnam has a very different environment to America.

That's the problem with being a true independent. Some issues (guns) get me labeled an arch-conservative and some (abortion) get me called a flaming liberal. I catch it from both sides, and I can't win.
