Gal Giap, aged 102, is dead

[a completely inoffensive name]

I think Giap and Osama are comparable in many ways... but I don't know that enough things are yet known to have a fair discussion about his role, even concerning doctrine. The war is not over, even. I won't be the one to start that discussion, but I think you have a point.

Give me an hour or two, and I am sure I will have started a new thread about this as I am genuinely concerned regarding the answer to this.
