they drove up the armored personnel carriers, and they opened from the top. they're designed for american troops to stand in them with their heads sticking out about like this. well, of course, you did that and all the south vietnamese heads couldn't see anything. so they piled ammo boxes all over the floor so the south vietnamese heads were all sticking out like this. that meant i was sticking out all the way up to here. i don't think i've ever felt more vulnerable in my entire life. there was a stronghold that had been identified. we went in and attacked it in force, and it was a stronghold and a tremendous fight broke out. i can remember there was a tree line. the stronghold village was up here, and then there was a long line of trees that came out this way. we were coming around through the rice paddies and turned and heading towards the village, and i looked at the time and i thought to myself, gee, i sure hope somebody's cleared that tree line. i said, "has someone cleared that tree line over there?" "yes, somebody has cleared that tree line." well, we

eventually, as you can see here, these armored vehicles are moving away. so an incredibly tense situation there just outside kramatorsk. >>> with me now, the former british ambassador to russia to discuss all of these developments. thank you very much for being with us here on "gmt." it seems that the question that everyone is still asking is just how much is russia involved with what we're seeing now on our screens, what is happening? >> i think they're undoubtedly russian special forces in eastern ukraine helping the demonstrators and on so. i don't think they initiated it. i think they seized the opportunity to add to the pressure on the ukrainian government to respond to some of russia's demands with regard to ukrainian neutrality and federalization and all of that. so they're involved without doubt. >> do you think russia and president putin should be saying stand back a bit? take the heat off out of this situation? >> well, i mean, the russians are maintaining pressure. what is encouraging in the shots you've just shown is that the ukrainian attempt

in one instance, according to reuters, 15 armored personnel carriers were surrounded and halted the by a from-russian crowd, with soldiers handing over the firing pins from their rifles to a rebel commander. in another apparently separate instance, purportedly shown by this youtube video, tweeted by "wall street journal's" tom garra, ukrainian armored personnel were surrounded by what appears to be a massive crowd of civilians. soldiers then seem to surrender. they seem to disembark from their tanks, joining their fellow soldiers on the ground, and then a russian flag is waved above one of the tanks to the cheers of the crowds. whether those tanks were ultimately taken over by pro-russian civilians or russian special forces or both is still unclear. whether they were deserters or captured is also unclear. ukraine defense ministry did confirm that six apcs were seized, it said, with the help of russian agents. ultimately, which is what became of kievs resolute desire to take back eastern ukraine. a formerly ukrainian tank, now a russian tank, doing a donut. >> it's impossible to predict

now we had armored divisions. we have forces that were confident and well trained. overmatched orf underappreciated. >> who has fought the best asymmetric war against the u.s.? >> all of our adversaries have tried. you can go back obviously to the frontier wars and the wars against native american tribes which were fundamentally asymmetrical. i think you can look at fights we have had in the philippines, the philippine insurrection. >> that means -- >> it is common sense. if you see an enemy has certain traits, you don't want to impale yourself on the strength. you want to go around the strength. revolutionary forces are asymmetrical. >> yes, because they come from a position military weakness. this would have to organize military operations in a way that allows them to strike a strike zone and to make contact with us and to fight us on their own terms. and they operate on multiple battlegrounds. >> did the insurgency in iraq have that ability? >> what we encountered was a localized hybrid insurgency that coalesced over time. what is striking about this insurgency a

armored vehicles are becoming a must-have for residents. the city has a long history of violence, much associated with gangs linked to political parties. in recent times, the taliban has also grown in influence. last year, more than 2,000 people were killed in attacks and around 100 were abducted for ransom. >> the killings and kidnappings show no signs of slowing. those who can afford it are installing windows that can stop a bullet and internal frame which can resist a bomb attack. >> this family has been in the car manufacturing business for more than 20 years. over the past year, he's seen a huge increase in the demand for armored vehicles. initially, he had one or two customers a month, now at least a seven at any given time. >> now i think people have really become aware that such an investment is probably quite necessary if especially one can afford it. >> armoring a car isn't cheap. the cost of making it bomb and bulletproof is $30,000 to $40,000 and that's on top of the purchase of the vehicle. it's a small price to pay for peace o

so initially when i showed up and it was like you don't have to wear your body armor, i very quickly learned. it is a counterintuitive thing. the closer you draw yourself to them, the more trust you show in them, the safer you are. and i was prepared and i knew that i needed to show respect for their ways, and so very quickly i became very comfortable in that environment. it was an absolute dream as a reporter to have that level of access to the afghans on a -- and to afghans in that kind of a remote place. i mean, you just can't get to those laces for any length of time because of the security issues. i mean, i had experiences in iraq where i could barely even get to talk to any iraqis because these u.s. units were just dashing down the roads and never even stopping to talk to anyone. so it hindered my ability to report. so in this first village we were in, i was able to spend many, many hours and days with an elderly tribal leader whose life spanned an incredible period of afghan history and was just so rich and sit and talk with him. and it was just, it was a great gift. >> would
