#1 ONE , as per a famous VIETNAM WAR incident, CAPTURED VIETCONG LEADER > angry becuz he told his men not to fire at US gunships, i.e. "that kind of helicopter", but they did anyways, hence got themselves wiped out; and TWO, VARIOUS NET ARTICLES > appears the insurgents were TRAVELING IN A LARGE GROUP OUT IN THE OPEN [read - easily detectable]. Possibly indic of being led by inexperienced? = poor? combat leaders", which in turn again reflects on the amount of damage the US=Allies had inflicted recently!?
