In my schooling, at all levels, elementary, Jr. high, high school, under-grad, and grad school, U.S. history rarely or never included much of others contributions in the glorifications of conflicts involving the U.S. in warfare.
Scant fanfare was given to the Russian accomplishments in WWII, because (I assume) the demonization post-war was too stout.
Likewise, many other conflicts involved other nations engaged in some amazing feats, who often suffered losses of their people, for what sometimes originated or continued as U.S.-sponsored conflict.
The story of Long Tan Rubber Plantation, and the Aussies there, is one of those battles I had little to no knowledge of.
Gentlemanly, gallant, thoughtful, cagey, and more. These were some serious anti-guerilla operatives. Bad to the bone, and with the classic British-like charm still intact.
