The Most HORRIBLE Traps Used in the Vietnam War

These are the US Army's most feared Vietnamese booby traps

My father & I took my Vietnam War veteran grandfather to Washington D.C. several years ago for the 1st time for him to see The Vietnam War Memorial Wall. He was drafted in the late 1960s & he got injured by shrapnel from a land mine (in addition to getting shot), so he got sent home & received a Purple Heart. However, 6 of his buddies didn't make it back home, so before the trip he made a list of all of their names & where they were located on The Wall. As he found each on the wall, he got very emotional knowing that he managed to come home (though injured), get married, have 3 sons, & live another 50 years, but 6 of his friends didn't.

The ad youtube gave me was "find a soulmate in Vietnam". Not the best timing💀

I was fortunate and missed the Vietnam War by mere months.
My Brother being twelve years older was not.
He survived and would Not talk about it.
I can only imagine how horrifying it truly was.

They had farmers with AKs. We sent kids who we forced to join the army.

When you invade another country you should expect them to resist by any and all means they are capable of.

My dad flew at high altitudes there. My uncle was on the ground & was shot. My step-dad, who I was very close with, flew rescue & gunner in a Huey. Shoot everything on the way in & then go down the line to recover wounded & bring them back up. And then lay cover fire at exit. It haunted him.

In summary .... Hell looks like that...

Thank you very much for your service ❤

And that's why it's a bad idea to invade other countries.

It may not have been sneakiest, but I think a Giant mace being flung at me would suck

Wheres the trap shown on the thumbnail? I don't like being lied to and I think I'm going to ignore this clickbait channel now.
I don't respect creators who do stuff like this.

The Punji traps sharpened bamboo spikes also had fecal matter rubbed on them.

[the_hybrids_gang]

to me the old fashion pungie trap had to be the most intense and the sneakiest because who in their right minds will ever think to look underground???

There are no rules in War. The enemy had no qualms about shooting medics.

My girlfriends dad was part of a team that would go in and "clean up" after napalm was dropped, when it was over his whole unit eventually all died from the same cancer

My Uncle was a LRRP Ranger in the war, and they would operate in two man teams known as hunter/killer teams. They’d go out on kill or capture missions, but his favorite ones were when they’d go locate ammo dumps, and then certain 3 letter agencies would give them doctored ammunition from bullets to artillery shells, and sometimes exact weapons copies down to the S/N. It was so much better than just outright blowing up the stockpiles. Because it had them scared to use any of the supplies because of fears of ammunition exploding when they were using it. Those same 3 letter agencies would have paid informants and spies who would put the word out that the ChiComs were selling them useless weapons, ammo, medical supplies, and Artillery. The part of this video talking about them doing surgeries without pain medication, and proper medical treatment was because of the fact that they couldn’t trust any of the ChiCom supplies wasn’t able to be trusted. Same goes for North Korea, Yogo supplies just to name a few. It also just one of a hundred different reasons why Vietnam still hates ChiCom 😊

Why 5million acres was marked as 5million Square Km at 9:13? Acre is 0.00405 km2. Entire Vietnam is around 331.000km2. Correct answer is 22.500km2

I’m sorry but did you say the Cootchie tunnels 😂 I am waaay too immature for that tunnel system’s name.
