One of the good things that came from Vietnam was the military
wised up. We now have a Center for Lessons Learned so that we do
not make the mistakes like body counts being the primary focus.
The CALL is very good about making sure that every enlisted
person does an After Action Review when coming back. AARs are
then sent to CALL.



MACV published a "Lessons Learned" series during the war. At the time,
they were classified CONFIDENTIAL, but were subject to automatic
downgrading -- I think 3 years, but certainly no more than 12. Might be
useful for some university to scan them and put them online.
