Do you think any of them have any combat experience at all? Last major confilct would be like 1979 or so.

Although when they surrounded Taiwan that was pretty wild.
They invaded the promise land too but failed


The 1979 Sino-Vietnamese War, also known as the Third Indochina War, erupted after Vietnam invaded Cambodia in 1978 and ousted the pro-Chinese Khmer Rouge regime. China, which had previously supported the Khmer Rouge, viewed Vietnam's actions as a threat to its interests and launched a punitive expedition.


Chinese forces initially advanced into northern Vietnam, capturing several cities near the border. However, the conflict was brief and focused on the border areas. While Vietnam did face a threat to its capital, Hanoi, they strategically chose to avoid mobilizing their regular divisions to fight the Chinese, instead using them for defense and employing guerrilla tactics to harass the advancing Chinese forces. This strategic decision prevented the Chinese from reaching Hanoi.


In fact, the Chinese withdrawal in March 1979 was largely due to the intense resistance and guerrilla warfare tactics employed by the Vietnamese, along with the fact that Vietnam did not withdraw any troops from Cambodia, demonstrating their commitment to the region. . The Vietnamese also successfully prevented the Chinese from taking the capital of Lạng Sơn, a key border city.

It's just fun. Plus, it comes in handy when traveling. It also shows respect to the people you are visiting.

I was thinking about learning American Sign Language next but a language is only useful when a person can use it. I don't know any deaf people so I'm afraid I wouldn't use it much and would forget it as soon as I learned it.
You're a good person, QL.
