To win a war, you should create big battles where you can win. Gettysburg, Normandy and Khe Sanh. You name it. Search and kill missions cost time and money during Vietnam war. Khe Sanh was a big trap in an attempt to eliminate the enemies as many as possible. The US hyped Khe Sanh to be the second Dien Bien Phu and Giap fell into the trap. Dien Bien Phu was defeated because French did not control the surrounding hills and did not have air support.
@ehunter2 The proaganda is in the figures of US casualties in the posting repeated parrot-fashion by yourself in your comment below. That's what I was referrring to. You're clearly a very angry person but try to engage in argument without referring to your opponent's "diseased mind". It will make you sound less of an idiot hick.
After the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991, the communist authority in Vietnam switched to its big brother Red China, a new leader of a few remaining communist nations including China, North Korea, Vietnam, Laos, and Cuba, for China's backup to remain in power in Vietnam. There are ten divisions of more than 100,000 Chinese troops disguised as mine workers in the central highlands, who will repeat another Tiananmen Square massacre in case Vietnamese revolt against the communist regime.
Oh yeah, it meant we were free to kill NVA by the 10's of thousands, they were so shell shocked by their asswhupping they could not refield those units until completely rebuilt!
Why Khe Sanh?

Saigon is now Ho Chi Minh City. That's like if Kabul was Osama Bin Laden City.

keep lapping up the 1970s propaganda (no doubt you think it "unamerican" to look up the facts).
730 US military killed in action, 2,649 wounded or missing, plus nearly 700 ARVN casualties
as for 15,000 NVA casualties - well, that figure is likely to be at least equally as inaccurate.
