The chinese general that said if US tried to intervene in a Taiwan / Mainland conflict, continental US would be hit with nuclear weapons. He was then instantly promoted and later invited to the Pentagon.

great to hear how Chinese diplomacy works, simple but effective.

Nope. Anyway, the Chinese have sent generals to US, for discussions.

I think China has talks with the US, so can Vietnam. Talks bring benefit to all of us

Why do they not wear helmets, like the PLAAF 15th Airborne Corps and Russian Airborne Troops?
Anyway, are they like an elite unit? (As in just elite units, not special forces)

Vietnamese are pretty short..

You mean, most Asians.

The chinese general that said if US tried to intervene in a Taiwan / Mainland conflict, continental US would be hit with nuclear weapons. He was then instantly promoted and later invited to the Pentagon.

What is his name?
Anyway, he could order a nuclear missile unit to destroy USA.

Maybe it's only a static jump exercise which usually doesn't includes the training for after jump battle that requires battle helmets. The thing on their heads were to protect the head from bumps while jumping.

Indonesian airborne troops with head-bump protector.

The differences occur if the jump was to be followed by series of battle when they touched the ground.

Most of Vietnamese now are short, bro. Vietnamese Americans? They have good living conditions. You can see Vietnamese who was born in 1990s is much higher than people of previous generations. Diet is very important in height increasing. Ration of Vietnamese now was changed a lot. Under war time, most of people has not the breakfast. The last war of us has just passed for 24 years.
