Vietcong strategy was not to kill enemy soldiers but to injure them enough for hospital care. As caring for injured soldier is more expensive and requires more labor to care for than a dead one.
Not only that but the mental trauma and constant paranoia of being booby trapped threw US soldiers off their war mentality and purpose. In short terms viet cong was living in American soldiers mind rent free, no matter what firepower you got it depends on the person. And they were not in the game
@@wavyislander did you know your more likely to survive if you joined the VC or US army than be a civilian in Vietnam. The civilian deaths 3million while military death is only around 300,000+.
I realy admire the Vietnams for being so creative with their traps. Even if their enemy has succeeded to enter their land there will still be many dangerous obstacles
@@mickmccasker6401Có thể bạn không biết một sự thật: Lính Mỹ đổ bộ xuống một vùng đất trống sau đó ném hết lựu đạn, xả hết tất cả băng đạn rồi nghỉ ngơi sau đó gọi trực thăng tới đón. Họ rất sợ đi vào rừng sẽ gặp phục kích và bỏ mạng nên đó là cách họ gian dối với cấp trên😂
As a veteran of Vietcong game, this is the most difficult game I've ever played. If this happened in the real world, I would definitely refuse to go to war in Vietnam
As a vet of this game myself i totally agree. I was terrified to crawl in pitch black tunnels seeing nothing, moving by touch. Years later i learned there was a flashlight.
It did happen. If you want to see these traps and how they work, we have all of the replicas in Dia Dao Cu Chi war museum in Vietnam, come visit and witness.
Crazy to think that humans actually got caught in these traps and had to go through that, way out in a jungle on the other side of the globe from their home. I was watching a special on the Vietnam war recently where they were interviewing soldiers from both sides this many years after the war. The Vietnamese soldiers said they had no idea why America was attacking them and they were fighting because they thought the Americans had come to kill them all. Many Vietnamese soldiers still didn't know what the war was being fought for even today. We were being told the Vietnamese soldiers were fighting because they were trying to spread communism. The Vietnamese said that was untrue and they were just fighting because they were being attacked and didn't know what else to do. America constantly lies to start wars. Like when we destroyed Iraq over weapons of mass destruction they didn't have. Scary to know we live in a country that constantly starts wars based on lies and can just send you to fight and die in those wars whenever they want.
As the vietnamese myself, this is true, we just want to live in freedom and harmony. China then france then japan invade and make us suffer for a long long time, so we just need something different to liberate ourselves, so communism is the only way. But we're different from china or Russian, HCM send letter to USA before they invaded us said "we want to be friend" but the final USA decision createted Vietnam war which USA said :"to stop spread of communist" but then what? They shakehand with China in 1970s to cooperation fighting again Vietnam. Then what the purposes of Vietnam War?
@@GinZzZ98 as an American I'd like to apologize to you for the atrocities our government has caused you and so many others in the world. We are not all war mongering blood thirsty people. Much love from over here...I bid you peace ❤️
A common signal that many Vietcong used not only in trap marking but also inteligent signal is the V symbol which stand for Vietnam. They often are a rock cut to triangle shape, a 2 branch tree or a deer antles. They don't have a static meaning, sometime they mean "careful trap here", other time they are "this path is safe". To fully understand the V they gave it a context to get the meaning. For example, if the V point north it mean a safe mark, if it point south mean dangerous mark. If V point to a big tree mean hideout near. If V point to a water source like stream, small pond or if V being cut, broke mean this is the way US went. They even choose color for the V rock to diffirentiate between bad and good, black stone has negative meaning and opposite.
There are many types of traps that you don't know much about, such as traps with dung placed on the mine. If you want to remove them, you must use your bare hands. Of course, after removing them you will find a nearby lake to clean them, but unfortunately that lake also has traps
7:44 imagine you are in one of the most brutal wars in history and right before you're about to die you pull out the "bellie Jean's not my lover" dance moves.
There is a fact that American soldiers are smart enough to recognize the types of traps used in the video above. Over time, they will understand the operating principles and how to identify them. However, the main effectiveness of these traps, firstly, is psychological, and secondly, and more importantly, they make the march slower and more difficult. They make the goals the soldiers aim for not easy to achieve or impossible to achieve. The longer they stay in the jungle, the longer they are in the field, the greater the danger that awaits them, such as epidemics and prolonged rainy seasons. That is, in fact, even more terrifying than the traps themselves.
Well done to the Vietnamese people for the victory against Americans!! Americans and French shouldn't have gone to Vietnam. I have visited Vietnam and i respect those people!! If anyone visits the War Remnants Museum at Ho chi Minh and Cu Chi tunnels will learn what really happened at war between Vietnam and American. Respect to Vietnamese people!!!
Actually Vietnam War was a Civil War between North Vietnamese Commie terrorists and freedom loving South Vietnamese citizens, just like Korean War was a Civil War between North Korean Commie terrorists and freedom loving South Korean citizens. Do you know that during Geneva Peace Accord 1954, nearly 1 million North Vietnamese citizens fled to the Republic of South Vietnam to escape Communist atrocities in North Vietnam where Commie Chinese puppet Ho Chi Minh were slaughtering 2 millions North Vietnamese citizens to rob their lands and homes as part of his deadly land-reform (1953-1956), modeled after similar land-robbing massacres by his fellow Commie butchers Mao in Commie China, and Lenin/Stalin in Soviet Union? War is influenced by more than just military might. US essentially fought both world Commie giants Soviet and China at once while being restricted by its own self-imposed rule of engagement in the frontline and impacted by anti-war movement by liberals (the likes of libtards like Jane Fonda who later apologized) at home. It wasn't a fair fight, but US's goodwill was in action to prevent Commie's taking over Asia. US saved South Korea and Japan in Asia, and Western Europe in Europe (and later Eastern Europe, too, when Soviet bloc collapsed. People from those countries are still grateful for American sacrifices until these days. Vietnam was a more complicated combat theater mostly due to its porous border in the western part. A geographically long country (S shaped) with a porous border along its side is recipe for disaster for any expeditionary forces due to infiltration. It's like you were already being surrounded even before the war started. Korea didn't have this problem, as the peninsula is only bordered by Commie China in the North, and the rest is surrounded by water. North Vietnamese Commie terrorists knew this and exploited the advantage with their Ho Chi Minh trail, without which, South Vietnam could still exist like South Korea today, largely due to American intervention. The US soldiers did it for good cause, and that's all that matters. It's an unfortunate consequence happened when US cut aids to the Republic of South Vietnam while both Commie giants Chinese and Soviet increased aids to their North Vietnamese terrorist minions, it wouldn't take a genius to predict the outcome.
@QUESTFORWINS I can pay for your ticket to leave a country with an "oppressive democracy" regime and live in a socialist country. BYE AND BE HAPPY!!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 😎😎😎😎😎😎
@@resoluation345 Do you know that most of the southern liberation army were southerners? The people who had to "defend" were those favored by the US government, they were lackeys of the Saigon government, and were only a minority.
@@resoluation345 There is No Soviet solders invaded Vietnam in the 1st place whereas you the South beggiing for half a million Killers from the US to invade our land...In short, f...ucking the loosers. NGUY QUYEN!
I knew a man we called Mr. Jim. He was embarressed to admit that this is what happened to him, but the wound on the bottom of his foot, there was no denying it. It looked like a toe popper went off on the bridge of his foot. Rest in peace Mr. Jim.
Just one simple question, What the hell were Americans doing a foreign land without any provocation or attack. You were the one who are aggressor or intruders here.
The Vietnam War was a long, costly, and divisive conflict that pitted the communist government of North Vietnam against South Vietnam and its principal ally, the United States. The conflict was intensified by the ongoing Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union.
As a Vietnamese I can answer your question. It was the war game of big countries, Vietnam was just a part of it. Capitalism vs Communism. Some communist ppl in our country said they were grateful with the help of USSR and China. They just helped themself...
I once copied the punji bear trap to see how effective it could be using a long handled shovel in place of a leg. It was surprising how well the two small boards clapped together around the base like a leg.
America & South Korea were ally to south Vietnam. China & Russia were ally to communist north Vietnam. Communism was colonizing nations in attempt at global domination. America, South Korea, even some Australian troops were deployed upon request of Democratic South Vietnam to help South Vietnam defend it's freedom from totalitarian Communism. Most Americans didn't want to go to Vietnam to fight North Vietnam Communists but a government imposed draft was created that forced the majority of American troops sent to assist the South Vietnamese in their civil war against Communist aggression. Politics forced the southern Vietnamese allies to withdraw and Many South Vietnamese were executed by the Communist North Vietnamese. . .Many South Vietnamese also fled Vietnam as refugees, to escape being murdered by Communist North Vietnamese. My cousin married a Vietnamese man who escaped Communism in Vietnam. Lots of Americans, South Korean and Australian Soldiers suffered for defending their South Vietnamese Allies from Communist North Vietnamese, Chinese and Soviet Aggression. After the Vietnam Civil War many South Vietnamese escaped to western countries where their children later joined western militaries to defend against the communism that had destroyed their families and their motherland.
@@SoldierDrew South Vietnam was a puppet regime created by imperialists and colonialist, and those South Vietnamese that betrayed their nation are no longer Vietnamese. Communism had helped Vietnam regained their independence and reunifcation.
@@SoldierDrewvậy tại sao Mĩ lại liên kết với China để tấn công chúng tôi??😂😂😂 Để chống chủ nghĩa cộng sản à?? Và câu hỏi nữa, chúng tôi chọn cộng sản hay cái gì khác thì đó là quyền của chúng tôi. Vì điều gì bạn tự cho phép mình mang bom đến với chúng tôi?? Thay vì dùng biện pháp hòa bình???
@@SoldierDrewhow do you think a country who just librated from France colonize, a Japan Nazi who create Hunger crisis will become a Communist country help by a "China" - who invaded us for more than 1000 year of torture and ready to punch in our face everytime (like 1979 invaded us in the north border) after achieved the benefit for their country (shake hand with Nixon in 1972 for open economy) - and conquer the world with communist spreading? I smell some bullsh*t big lies from USA country here 😅
Btw, take time to travel to Vietnam and see what "Freedom from communist" bring uppon us, x2 Ton of Boom than ww2 only on small country; burning village, torture unharm people, killing massacre; selling drugs, beer, wines; Separate our nation people with bullsh*t lies about "freedom", taking out our freedom of belief to spread Christian - who not follow will be suffer from live because of ransack, questioning, arresting,... Take time to read the real documents, the dark side of Vietnam war wrote by USA highlevel veterans, we use to want to be friend with USA in 1946, to be independent from France, to shake hand with USA but they say Nope. Wake the f*** up from the lies your Government spread inside your head. Look what they do to you and your people right now, is Capitalism is a heaven for "freedom" right now?
@SNIPER400it's not about winning or losing. We fought to get what we lost: Our nation. The Mongol, Chinese, French, Japanese, American.. tried to conquer Vietnam and they had to leave. We just protected our nation, we didn't kill for fun. That's what make us different from Isreal
In vietnam they don't still talk about the war we do in America most of the people there just want to get on with their lives and also a good portion of the people are too young to remember the war
VN đã chiến đấu chống quân xâm lược hàng ngàn năm. Chiến đấu với Trung Quốc, Mông Cổ, Khmer, Xiêm, Pháp, Nhật, Mỹ. Cuộc chiến với Mỹ cũng chỉ là một trong các cuộc chiến đã qua thôi. Dù sao hiện giờ VN đã hòa bình và tự do giống như chúng tôi đã mong ước nên chúng tôi không quan tâm nhiều đến quá khứ. Tương lai mới là quan trọng.
Mục đích quan trọng của bẫy, là chúng tôi cần một vài lính Mỹ gào rú khóc thét trong đau đớn, những kẻ còn lại sẽ mất phương hướng, lúc đó người Mỹ tự nhận mọi thứ là kẻ thù của họ. Chỉ cần người dân thấy lính Mỹ hành quân lập tức cuộc hành quân ấy không còn bí mật nữa, và một lý do thần thánh nào đó tự bạn sẽ tìm đến bụi cây để tâm sự bằng tiếng Việt. Chúng tôi có thể ở trong rừng nhiều năm quan sát lính Mỹ vô rừng một hoặc hai ngày rồi về, chúng tôi có thể ở dưới đất nhiều năm quan sát lính Mỹ đi tới đi lui Người Mỹ có thể đánh chiếm một thành phố, một khu vực nhưng không thể giữ được bất cứ một ngôi làng nào cả, và ngôi làng chính là ngọn lửa thiêu rụi mọi thứ thuộc về Mỹ. Chúng tôi nhận thức rất rõ nhân dân Mỹ là người yêu chuộng hòa bình không muốn chiến tranh, cũng giống như những người cha người mẹ Việt Nam rất yêu thương con của mình, chúng tôi vô cùng biết ơn những người dùng nhiều cách phản đối chiến tranh góp phần xây dựng tình hữu nghị Việt Nam và Mỹ hôm nay. Chúng tôi còn nhiều thứ phải học hỏi
Absolutely amazing animations.... incredible work I can't wait to see more...... can you do more booby traps from history? Or animations of punishments from history like the brazen bull, the guillotine, the blood eagle, the boats or things along those lines?
I was scrooling down the comments while the video was still playing. First animation I saw after your comment is the one where the US soldier is dancing around the trap hahahahaha Sorry, but I had to give a good laugh for that.😂
During that time, Thailand was fully affected. Many military bases in Thailand during that time Thailand does not allow But the consequences of the war that has a direct impact Thailand therefore must accept and be on the same side as the United States. Several military bases, airports in the northeast and training grounds before going to Vietnam. By training in Korat
1 phần trap thì 8 phần do bomb Napalm, CBU-55, MK, Agent Orange. Con CBU -55 nó nổ thì trong phạm vi 16.000 m2 chả còn cái mẹ gì sống được nữa là đến động vật hoang dã, Agent Orange thì thôi không cần nói nữa.
We indegenous tribes of North Borneo@Dyaks Tribe were familiar with this kind of traps. We used it in daily routine to catch animals for food. But we have more than this and more types of poison from tree and animals used. We adapt well with our forest.
Charlie was very good at traps, after all most of these are traps they set for pray and they lived off the land,, so yeah this was something we were never really trained for
I remember the end of the John Wayne film "The Green Berets". Timothy Hutton steps into a snare and is flung on to rack of punjab sticks, impaling him instantly. Pretty scary.
Mexico has been invading the U.S.A. for decades. . .Should the Americans reciprocate your intentions and booby trap their southern border against the invasion from Mexico? Quid Pro Quo?
