Generally ignoring this foreign and, in both tone and
content, defeatism-creating message, I feel forced to
make it public and comment on the bit about Hindu Kush
and Vietnam.

Just recall: "the wind, the wind's everywhere" (GR 30)
and while there may be pockets in any aether (GR
695-697) - in this case it'll be a quite "burning"
aether indeed, won't it, as it reaches the rocky
Afghanistan with her 17+ million enemies (conciderably
less enemies than there were in Nam) - the pockets are
at best utterly accidental and rare, as we can happily
conclude from the very passage.
