Firebases in T2K

[Mohoender]

I like your idea about firebases but I think they have a weakness if I'm correct. If facing a fairly strong force they can be isolated and easily wiped out. That's what happened to the French at Dien Bien Fu. They were using firebases but as they had insufficient transport to evacuate or move around, they had to surrender.

U.S. better air power made them much more efficient in Vietnam. General Wingate's experience with the Chindits is also very interesting. I think he is the guy who thought of them in the first place.
