Mattathias, Good link. There are significant differences between these tunnels and the Cu Chi's. Both are designed and used as cover and concealment from primarily air and are used as fighting positions. But the Vietnamese never really put a lot of heavy weapons or war material in them. If needed they'd leave and not lose much. A closer analogy I think would be the Japanese at Iwo.
You can see smoking fragments dropping from the intercept, impressive photo :)
ReplyDeletePretty impressive Mattathias, but no circle dancing just yet. The grunts need to go in and dig theses guys out.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, it ain't gonna be an easy task when it does...
