We weren't really expecting them to hide in holes. I doubt that we'd be able to successfully invade China (I'm about 50/50), but I know we'd win a defensive war. Hell, I'd run at a tank with a knife to defend my country.
Besides, we were doing fine in Vietnam. It's just that the rest of the hippy-shit populace pussied out and started crying for an end to the war. Had they given us another 5 years, we would've won. All we needed was time to reinforce South Vietnam, just like we need to do in Iraq (mind you, that's going to take a LOT longer. Every terrorist in the world wants to go their and blow themselves up in markets crowded with laughing little children in the name of their imaginary friend).
