Your last answer at the bottom there was kinda lame though, dont you think?
Why don't you just accept vietnam the way the game has it setup? Why do you bother changing it?
Your OOB's are just your perception of how they should be thats all.

Your argument is basically one that suggests a fundamental flaw with secondary history, since most secondary historians were not historically present at the events, or all of the events they describe. If we take accuracy in its purest definition, as being free of error, then yes, my work cannot be considered accurate. I would agree that most secondary historical work is colored by the perceptions of the authors.
So, with all that, how can you be sure of anything? I say the scratch built OOBs are historically accurate according to my sources, when compared to that Green OOB. That was it. I can safely say that in no way, does the Green OOB historically represent Mexico or Venezuela.
You brought up the Vietnam pack. In the cases of
modified OOBs, then it is not so much my interpretation of history in this case as what I deem to be important for inclusion and representation. You'll notice that many design decisions in the stock game revolve around conscious decisions and compromises for the sake of gameplay and the size of the standard OOB, that are not necessarily historically accurate. For instance, what I did was only made possible by splitting the existing two US OOBs into five US OOBs. You'll also notice that many of additions and edits friendly to the existing OOB have been added in the last two patches to the existing US OOBs.
I would challenge you to tell me what your point is in challenging the validity of my arguments. It would seem you have no vested interest in the outcome regardless. That attitude seems to border on trolling.
Re: Mexico and Venezuela
...I believe its somewhere in between). I unfortunately can't tell you when I'll get around to it. I haven't started it.
