sgdiehard SG I wonder who will build this kind of tunnels in today's scenario and where will this be built? Johore? Batam?
freekicklegend SG our superior airforce will bomb the damn tunnels and our elite infantry troops will kill our enemies as each of us can take on a 100. we heard you callin' callin' in for us we are from a hardcore infantry!
tankee1981 SG They have many numerous exit/entry points which are hidden and can extend way out of the actual living quarters. So a 'siege' will not work very well. They can ambush these soldiers laying the siege at night after crawling out of these tunnels or harass them by hit and run tactics through hidden firing posts. The US troops don't just use any smoke...they used tear gas to smoke them out but didn't work well as the Viet-cong have constructed special features such as used of air tight trap doors, having numerous hidden ventilation shafts, entry/exit points. It has been reported that thousands of tons of CS gas were used by the U.S. forces in Vietnam to bring Viet Cong into the open, other estimates report 15 million pounds of CS being used. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CS_gas Tunnels diagrams: http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/720000/images/_720577_vc_tunnel_complex2_300.gif http://www.hq.usace.army.mil/history/vietnam_diagram.jpg US Army records:http://www.learnhistory.org.uk/vietnam/tunnelcu_chi_dgfiagram.jpg
ceecookie SG Camouflaged as to look like anthills... For the entry holes,they are so small that the typical American is too fat to enter,thus giving the Vietcong an advantage over an technologicaly superior army Having visited Cu Chi Tunnels last Sunday,i can tell you that crawling in the tunnel is terrible and after 30m(they customised a section of the tunnel for tourists such that the entry holes are larger,doubled height for the tunnel and exits every 30m) we opted to exit as our legs could not continue.U can either crawl or squat-walk The picture of the tunnel and girl above is the customised tunnel for tourists,not the actual ones. Actual Customised for tourists Maybe you should look at this first
Dr Who SG Ventilation hole at the bottom of ant hill. There are hundreds of ventilation holes...how to gas everyone? terrain at Cu Chi......just like Tekong......how to spot ventilation holes?
freekicklegend SG our superior infantry troops can infiltrate and will take no man back, we are far too strong for this child's play. not to mention our elite units such as CDOs and Rangers will finish 'em off in wad, minutes? R is for Running Hard A is for Airborne N is for Never Die G is for Good to go E is for Excellence R IS FOR RANGERS!
infantry SG we sing our song, so loud and strong. each of us can take on a hundred, or even more. we are from, RAVEN COMPANY!
Dr Who SG US casualties in Vietnam.......the US lost 58,000 killed in action.....how many rangers/infantry can the SAF spare?
