    Uhm. I believe that The Historian got the right answer. If you count the last two years of the Vietnam war, which was a conventional war (with USA out), it was longer.

    Wasn't Vietnam kind of Guerilla fighting? Well, I am not a military history expert, I write what I hear or read. So I won't be able to insist on the correctness of the answer.

    Kerem, read up on the campaigns in the A Shau valley namely the battle for Hamburger Hill, or the battle for the Ia Drang in the Central Highlands, or the battles during the Tet Offensive like the battle for Khe Sahn or the battle for Hue. It's a common misconception that the Vietnam War was completely a guerilla war. The North Vietnamese stood up and fought us toe to toe plenty of times and we kicked their behinds almost every time.

    Question: In 1944 when William Casey operated ot of Paris for the CIA, he had a colonel's rank. That meant he got a roommate, due to the house shortage for Allied Personnel.

    Who was William Casey's roomate in Paris?

    I thought you're Historian #6, as he felt talked to and asked the new question.
