This could be a question open to debate. Some will say the most important soldier was the common infantryman, afterall he was the one who did the fighting and digging. Others will say it was a good general who knew military tactics. Julius Caesar considered his centurions the most important because they were on the front lines and knew the strength and temperaments of the troops. In fact, he was criticized for having centurions present at battle planning meetings and listening to their input.

The most dangerous weapon in the Roman army was the Roman soldier. He was not only well armed with the sword, knife, several javelins and his shield, but he could think.

Was the Willys MB US Army Jeep used in the Vietnam war?
I don't think so. My experience in Viet Nam we only had the M151 series jeep. There was the initial M151 then the M151A1 and eventually the M151A2. I maintained this series of Jeep until the active Army decided to go to the current 991 series HUMMV. I do miss the jeep, even after 20 years of being retired!
Ho Chi Minh Was a good leader because At the Party Congress at Tours on Christmas Day, 1920, Ho Chi Minh sided with the Communist wing of the party since the Communists advocated immediate independence for all colonial areas. Vietnamese did not have to be Communist to join the fight against the French, and the ranks of the Viet Minh swelled with patriotic volunteers. He had certainly led his native Communist Party through almost 40 years of success, creating a state where none had existed before and devising a Communist government to run it. As a young Communist functionary, he avoided Stalin's great purges of the 1920s and 30s. As a mature Communist leader, he steered a middle course between the Russians and Chinese in their great schism, offending neither and retaining the support of both. In sum, Ho Chi Minh was that great contradiction: a dedicated Communist who was also a fervent nationalist. Throughout his life he never lost sight of his goal of an independent Vietnamese state, and even as a Communist leader he pursued an essentially Vietnamese course, even when pure Communist theory might have dictated other choices.

SP4 is a Specialist, E-4, which is one step (rank) above a PFC, Private 1st class, E-3 and one step (rank) below a Sergeant, Sgt., E-5. A Private is an E-1 which is the rank most soldiers get out of boot camp. I still believe that this basic rank structure is the same as it was when I was in the Army 35 years ago. I don't know if the rank of Corporal is still used as it was or is an E-4 or at least a rank above a PFC. A Sgt., E-5 is usually a squad leader but depending on the staffing or circumstances could act as a platoon Sgt. This position is usually held by an E-6 and sometimes an E-7. The head NCO, Non-Commisioned Officer of an Army Company, is usually an E-8 which is a 1st Sergeant. The 'top dog' NCO in a battalion or Unit is the Command Sergeant Major. I think I got it right.

How is the Army better than Marines?
That question might have been asked by a recruiter or in a local tavern and is only intended to stir up a brawl. The US Fleet has strategic weapons designed to vaporise cities, countries and continents that the Army lacks. The Navy and Marine Corps Fighter Squadons would tip the balance over Army Helicopters and sheer numbers. Balistic missles provide a bigger bang then MLRS and artillery. The Navy, Marines and Air Force are not intended to hold terrain; that's why the Army exists. Each branch of the military has its mission and is trained to complete their task. Part of that training is teamwork. As a US soldier, I recall assisting Marines in repairing their combat equipment. Air Force bases were often protected by Soldiers and Marines as they were trained in ground warfare. A Navy base usually has a Marine unit to secure the base. Most Soldiers and Marines get along very well, one Marine when asked why stated "We eat the same dirt!"
