This quote from the movie Apocalypse Now provides an excellent over-arching narrative regarding conventional military inadequacy following WW2. With regard to indigineous combative populations of the third world, (such as that encountered in
vietnam by the U.S. during the 1960s), the U.S. was encountering new and completely "bush" methods for the fighting and conducting of war. Yet ironically the real bush-leaguer was the U.S., since the fight was in charlie's backyard, and charlie plays by his own rules.
