What new ideas were used in the Vietnam war?
The most note worthy, is that Vietnam brought back an old idea; the gun. Thanks to the Vietnam War, all US jet fighters now have guns on them, no matter how modern they are...the F22 Raptor has guns...because the Vietnam War was the last war in which US jet fighter pilots fought a determined and competent enemy in jet to jet warfare. The US dog-fighting schools, TOP GUN (USN) and RED FLAG (USAF) were specifically designed based upon the experience gained in the skies over North Vietnam...good old fashioned dog-fighting (air to air combat).
