Total guerrilla casualties: one dead. Further, as was shown in Korea, masses of manpower can repair roads and makeshift bridges overnight. Says a U.S. military officer in Laos: "A 500-lb. bomb makes a hole five feet deep and ten feet across. With 50 coolies filling the hole and packing it with a battering ram the road can be ready again the next day." Moreover, the North...
