Lz means landing zone :3

During the Vietnam War, ARP's were Aerial Rifle Platoons that secured LZ's (Landing Zones).
A hot lz is a military term for a landing zone (hence LZ) that is under heavy fire. It was used many times in Vietnam due to the constant in and out of helicopters. During a "hot" LZ, the landing zone was under too much fire for a helicopter to land, so the soldiers must jump out of the helicopter in stead of it landing. The helicopter never touches the ground for the purpose of getting in and out as fast as possible.
Q who was the victor of the Vietnam war? A I have no idea who won the Vietnam war!!!!
