Won the skirmish, lost the battle (and the war). I guess the plane radioed back how lightly defended it was. >> The significance of Lima Site 85 became even more evident weeks later when the site was overrun by North Vietnamese forces in a dramatic and costly assault. The loss of Lima Site 85 represented the greatest ground combat personnel loss for the U.S. Air Force during the war and underscored the vulnerability of remote installations in hostile territories.
