"By fighting a limited, defensive war, America permitted the enemy to endlessly re-supply their field armies"

- Nguyen Cao Ky

About this Quote

In this quote, Nguyen Cao Ky is recommending that America's technique of battling a restricted and protective war permitted their enemy to continuously replenish their armies with supplies. This indicates that by not taking a more aggressive technique, America provided their enemy the chance to regroup and continue the fight. This might have been a major disadvantage for America, as it permitted their opponent to keep their strength and prolong the war. Ky's declaration highlights the significance of having a strong and decisive technique in war, as a passive method can ultimately benefit the opponent. It likewise functions as a cautionary tip for future disputes to thoroughly consider the effects of minimal and defensive techniques.
