During "Operation Van Buren," a ROKMC platoon of about 13 people wiped out an elite North Vietnamese Army regiment. There were only 2 Koreans dead and more than 400 NVA soldiers dead. It was first a gun battle but it broke down into hand to hand combat. The ROKMC had an overall kill ratio of 25:1.

Does anyone know more about this? I've read of it before but they don't get into details, I heard that they were the ones ambushed (they weren't the ambushers) so how can they get away with only two dead?
