It wasn't the micromanaging, it was the macromanaging...it was the rediculous "rules of engagement" that lost the war. To WIN we needed to Mei Lei EVERY village. You'll NEVER "win" a war when most of the population survives. You end up with a "resistance" that will never go away. They're eventually lost.
We shouldn't have been there protecting Frances agricultural interests.
