During the Vietnam war how did soldiers get from the ships to the land past the heavily mined beaches without suffering any casualties?

Stew	Had an interesting time trying to find out, Taffy. Not found a definitive answer but US troops seem to have used helicopter landings very frequently and also experimented with air-cushioned vehicles in the late sixties. Mar 10 03, 10:20 PM

How did American soldiers get the nickname "doughboys"? What was "the longest war with the fewest casualties"? I know Russia finally declared war on Japan in 1945 when World War II was almost over, but was there any actual fighting and casualties between Russia and Japan in 1945? When did enemy soldiers stop fighting a war and celebrate Christmas together?
