Napalm used in Vietnam war
You know why they won the war
Nuke em a couple times and they'll quit their bullshit...
Thanks for the how to.
In the latest Jack Reacher book (The Secret), we're told that Viet Cong would pull the pin on a grenade, wrap it in a rubber band, then drop it into a Jeep gas tank. The gas would slowly melt the rubber band and the grenade would explode and kill U.S. soldiers. Problem is, that's a complete fantasy. Grenades are WAY bigger than gas tank fill pipes, which also have bends in them. Dropping a grenade into a gas tank would be exactly the same as dropping a pineapple into a septic tank---through the toilet. Couldn't be done. Just lost a lot of respect for Lee Child.
Missing a fair chunk of other interesting stuff: - feces were put on all the traps pretty much, so that soldiers would catch infections - there were also bullet traps. Similar to arrow ones, where you combine bullet, bamboo and some pressure. Super easy and super effective trap, that's low cost and very easy to assemble. - the intentions were not to kill, but to injure, making the soldier groups an easy target, since they had to tend to the wounded and be slow to travel forward - Vietnameese also carried vipers in their ammo puches, so enemy soldiers would get bit when searching the bodies I recomend checking out documentaries about "tunnel rats". It's about labyrint like Vietnameese tunnel complexes, and the soldiers that were assigned to find and destroy them. Super interesting stuff.
Half of these arent really accurate Every spike was covered in actuall shit Making sure if the trap didnt kill u The infections would
