Absolute TRUTH..my theory is that is why they act so mean,irritable&waxed.

My Grandfather served in Vietnam from 1966-1968 and again from 1970-1971. He never told us any stories, but after he passed away, his close friends at the VFW shared some of them. He ran a surveillance platoon, going 3 weeks at a time without orders. During the waiting period, their scout / supplier was killed in a punji stake trap. Eventually, the men became paranoid of waiting. As the commanding officer, my grandfather told everyone to find an animal and train it to occupy their time. He had a pet monkey, but most had rodents. One day, when the men ran out of rations, half of the men wanted to kill and eat one soldier's pet pig. The other half became very attached to it. The men nearly killed eachother over deciding what to do. My Grandfather had to give the order to allow the men to kill and eat it. Grown men cried and suffered over it, and there was not even an enemy in sight. The sound of guns in the distance, but complete and utter isolation. War is hell. RIP. Victor R. Welfl 1928-1995

If you were a grunt doing a tour in Vietnam, you pretty much were the trap. Since the Viet Cong would seldom fight in large scale battles, the US military would send squads on search and destroy missions. The squad was basically bait for the larger units watching them. Once engaged, the US squads would call in overwhelming artillery or air support. This rarely worked b/c the Viet Cong knew this was the goal and would wait until US troops were in carefully designed kill zone before every attacking.

A friend of my dad was in country very early on in the war. He volunteered. He came from a Military family so the idea of duty drove him. His unit was attached to an ARVN Cavalry unit. The ARVN would routinely put NVA/Viet Cong POWs into the helicopters, take them up into altitude, and push them out. Waist gunners on the other choppers would sometimes use the falling POWs for target practice. They would also do this to village honchos sometimes, pressing them about troop movements and such, then out they went. It was all under the command of the ARVN, so it was never investigated or followed up by the US forces. He said: "There was no difference between them."

wow these traps were utilize against men with grenades, rifles, bombs, ability to call airstrikes and other artilleries in what is considered to be the first modern war, you have to respect it.

@Cyanlead Plus - did you know the punji stakes - it wasn't just limited to the torso, legs or various anatomy of the body to be penetrated - in Vietnam the NLF guerillas would even employ spiked mudballs that functioned just like from 3:22 onwards but they were designed to strike the face like 2 flying spiked mudballs that could easily puncture the face, and trip-wire or tools that could cause you to trip and fall on your face even if you wore armor. They would even sometimes place tripwire

I inadvertently met Vietnamese govt public affairs officer and a "senior Colonel" from the Vietnamese Air Force, a Mig-21 pilot with over 2K cockpit hours that he was traveling with. They had been at high level military meetings on Randolph AFB. Nice gentlemen. The Colonel was a true warriors deserving of the utmost respect. They were discussing joint-basing and joint-training, and joint-security with the USAF. They told me that BAR FAR MOST Vietnamese want stronger relations with America, they wished America had stayed and won the war, and even in Hanoi, American joint-basing was favored by 77% in recent polls. OMFG. (disclaimer, I just bicycled Vietnam N to S for 30 days, and it seems like those statements were correct)

I actually did this as a kid, for context i live in hawaii and i was around 10 years old, I remember seeing this trap on some sort of social media, it was a video explaing how to build it and used it, a hole, anything sharp at the bottem, sticks, leafs, and sand, thats how i did it because mud wasnt close to a beach and the weather is always sunny. I remember drawing “->” in the sand and a x on the spot, me and my brother thought it was a “prank” and funny. Only one person fell for the trap and it was just some poor old lady, and we was hiding behind a tree giggling, after no one else fell for it we just got our mom and she said it could break someones feet and got mad at us, we didn’t understand lol

SeculaRxHumanisT Agent Orange was specifically made to destroy plants. Tests shown that you could inhale some and still live, without internal damage. However, if you inhale a lot, it could cause cancer later on. Pamphlets often dropped from B57’s warned civilians when and where American’s were going to use it. And that civilians in that area should follow strict guidelines as to surrender themselves so they would still have food and shelter after. However the vietcong decided to exploit that and hide behind civilians, endangering them so that the vietcong could infiltrate. You seem pro vietcong. I have a list of war crimes carried out by their leaders and government; not by specific peoples. FURTHERMORE Americans killed more north Vietnamese soldiers, and even Chinese soldiers. A prime example being that one navy seal operation, with only 12 members; killing over 900 Vietnamese soldiers without casualties.

Thank God i missed vietnam by a couple of years, but i had a few cousins that were there, and they all made it home alive. An interesting note, and you rarely see it on film, is a walking stick used by hikers,campers,etc..., not a cane, some of our fellows in nam would use these when walking point just because of below ground punji pits. No good for most gravity drop punji's or land mines, but there were far more ground pits than those 2 traps.

Also the VC is also very smart too, they attach fans into the AT mines, so when a US helicopter hover above the mine (at the right height), the wind generated by the helicopter will make the fan rotate fast enough so the mine would fly up and hit the helicopter, bring the helicopter down, damage it but it would not destroy the helicopter, but it will injure or even kill the soldiers inside.

South Korea is South Korea since after the end of world war, protecting it is clear as sky. Two different scenarios. Your arguments are drifting far away from the original topics. I think you need to at least take a basic education on writing sentences and constructing arguments.

I wasn't in Nam, spent my war years serving stateside, but bamboo was used as slow torture. It is a grass and grows from the bottom up. Sharpen a stick and tie the prisoner above it and the bamboo will just grow upwards killing the guy slowly.

They forgot to show the one that swings like a baseball bat at you, into your upper body area, and works like a mouse trap would work spring loaded although there is no spring but generates a lot of force from the weight they put on it, it's about as big as the one in this video they drop from above. They attached them to trees so when you would go to pass by a tree on a trail you'd set it off and it would come around the blind side of that tree so fast you wouldn't even have a chance to move left or right and the worst thing to do is try and duck because it's going into your face. Deadly

Imagine if they forgot to take down the traps used as examples.

So what was the point of it all? I ask this in all sincerity. The French wanted Vietnam under their rule and Vietnam wanted independence from French Indochina. The U.S. stays out of it for some years then allows ever increasing financial aid to the French. The French lose a big battle, then there is a division of Vietnam. N. Vietnam is pissed and killing/imprisoning those they believe are against them, France bails, & there sits the U.S. What a mess. It's a loose description but true, yes?

@Jaime. Sierra It's ridiculous that people like you still regurgitate the establishment propaganda about the so-called war. America had nothing to fear from the Soviets because there was never a time when the Soviets could feed themselves. From 1923 to 1988 America kept Communism alive with multi-million ton annual grain and industrial shipments, which the Soviets never paid for. The USSR only source of foreign currency was selling things they received as free aid from America, so all Soviet aid to other Communist countries was paid for by US Taxpayers. The Americans and the Cubans were working together all along, that's why America always had a Military base in Cuba called Guantanamo Bay. Communism in Cuba, Russia and China was a Wall Street creation. Read Antony C Sutton - 4 books: "Wall Street And The Bolshevik Revolution", "The Best Enemy Money Can Buy", "National Suicide: Military Aid to the Soviet Union", "Survival is Not Enough: Soviet Realities And America's Future." Look for KZread videos of the same names if you don't want to read. Sutton was Economics Professor at California State University and at Stanford University's Hoover Institute. Sutton was a historian and economist with a top level career and his primary sources have never been disputed or refuted by anyone. The so-called Cold War was a scam to suck a Trillion dollars of US taxpayers money into the pockets of the US Military Corporations and build America into a Technocratic Global War Machine which will ultimately be used against the American taxpayers who paid for it. The US military is destined to crush any remaining pockets of résistance to the New World Order, which is Global Feudalism, which is Communism.
