it is a Vietnam Themed Game , But the USA Invaded Vietnam, So The US weapons are canon.

But like, I mean, why would the US drag their expensive toys to an insurgent-filled country, which I note you, have limited use for and is exceptionally costly once lost ?
Take the Abrams (One thing more, no Abrams ever saw service in the Vietnam War, like just ever, cause they haven't been invented nor deployed yet till well over the 1980s).
What an Abrams is going to do, trekking through a mountainous, mud-filled, rasputitza-style tropical fauna, without reliable fuelling line though the forests to supply its movements, meanwhile actively serving itself and potentially the lives of a company of US Infantry to the Reaper of Traps or AK-47 ?
Just a group of NVA hauling C4, or heaven forbids, mines, is enough to send a hundred million dollars of taxpayers money down the drain, and potentially 10 coffers to bring home.
I can argue the same to C17. Worse, it saw service in the 1990s
And the Raptors.... (#1, servicing around 2000s) Second:...
Why ? You're not fighting a conventional army. The enemy does not have a real Air Force to speak of. Why bring a damn jet fighter ? To zip around like mosquito waiting ever-so-patiently for a VC MiGs ? Or to fall prey to hand-crank SAM ?
Great game, but historically speaking...
LOL !!! I may laugh, but certainly some historians are having aneurysms !
