Booby Traps and Ambushes
Guerrilla warfare is a stealthy and sneaky tactic. Its a tactic that allows the small and weak to overcome the large and powerful. the use of traps during the Vietnam war was detrimental to the vietcong's victory. Traps can limit the combat effectiveness of at least two soldiers because the injured person and all there gear would be taken to the hospital. this cost effective method was devastating to the american forces. the ingenuity of the vietcong,while at times was gross, proved very powerful against the americans. The VC used to fill sharpened bamboo sticks with feces to cause infection of the wounds attained by the traps. The traps were made to injure our soldier instead of killing them, because it would immobilized many of the soldiers that were trying to help the injured one to make a massacre.
