How successful was search and destroy mission American strategy during Vietnam war?
It was effective in terms of body count but in terms of the war it would seem that it was not as effective as thought out to be. this was because the American army was getting 'fed up' as they would sometimes not find a single VC but they would end up losing a couple of servicemen or losing a vital ligament due to booby traps. mentally this would effect the US. Overall it was effective but to what extent? body count was good but morale and willingness of troops was deteriorating.
