  • Viet Cong Tunnels

    March 23, 2025 in Vietnam ⋅ ☁️ 33 °C

    Went to see the site where the Viet Cong dug their tunnels to fight the Americans. After seeing the site I had a much better understanding as to why the Americans did so poorly in Vietnam.
    1. An American tank, using a tank in the jungle makes no sense to me.
    2. This is one of the entrance hole to the tunnel system, after the lid is down, the entrance is not visible.
    3. The Viet Cong had side tunnels with opening only big enough to shoot out from so the American could not chase them back into the tunnel.
    4. Inside the tunnel system.
    5. The Vietnams are way ahead of Disney and you could shoot guns from Vietnam at a target range.
