Just a correction on your post. I was at Bien Het (7 kilometers from the tr-border with Laos and Cambodia) in 1968-69 and we were attacked by an NVA division with 8 or 9 T-34 or T-37 tanks (I can't remember which exactly). That is hardly the tactics of guerrilla warfare. The NVA very often fought like regular army units in Vietnam. Certainly as the US began to withdraw in the 1970's they more and more conducted conventional military operations.
