We the First CAV kicked butt in Cambodia and as a result for a couple of months afterwards we were not mortared or had rockets landing on is while we were sleeping .
Lam Son 719 was a grand plan to have the S. Vietnamese airlifted into Laos to break the North's supply lines; 1000 Army helicopters participated.. The North knew we were coming and kicked the invasion's butt. Most reports say before Lam Son 719 ended we lost 600 helicopters.
I did Cambodia but left before 719 started; the guys who lived through that fubar operation were never the same IMO.
