the viet cong dug tunnels in several levels, placing them on top of each other and connecting them withe tunnels went 20-25 m deep, turning into underground cities. hospitals, training camps, warehouses, barracks, kitchens, and printing houses were located on different floors. the partisans kept a lot of captured weapons in their weapons warehouses. according to legend, they once managed to hide an american battle tank in their dungeon. primitive forges created homemade anti-personnel mines, drinking water and the partisans had enough food to lead a relatively safe existence for months, and ventilation shafts were located in the dungeon to provide fresh air to the communists. volunteers became tunnel rats. the main qualities are short stature, quick reaction, courage and psychological stability. the main function is to penetrate labyrinths and clear them of partisans. tunnels with traps in the tropical jungle were fraught with a lot of deadly surprises, but go and understand where the underground passage will lead to a weapons depot or into an ambush. the tunnels were very narrow, and o

a kind of coalition arrangement with south vietnam sharing power with the viet cong in kind of what we called a leopard spot arrangement in south vietnam. where, where they control part of the territory and the south vietnamese government. the other part we could have ended that war by them, by the middle of 1970, if it hadn't been for the, the cambodian crew and any invasion. when you have 550000 troops involved and you have already lost 35000, you can trust it. and it's all like a television said and said, we don't care about the people who it rely ends on. i would have cast if they'd uh, with us and just technically how to get 500000 people out of a country. if you would think of the problems, people have no evacuating a few 100 people. so be to the system and they could retreat and strength name. the people that we had supported was a necessary cause and effect. and i think there was no answer because the americans pictured the whole ending in trial . instead, they were dependent on the goodwill of their enemies and kissed interest to go. she had to encounter pots later, tow superp

the north vietnamese and the viet cong attacked 36 of vietnam's 42 provincial capitals and five of its six largest cities. thousands were killed. but united states forces prevailed and won in every single battle, including a messy battle at way. despite his best efforts and the efforts of the french millimeter, harry, the kissinger, paris channel, which was codenamed philadelphia, was killed as well. in my opinion, no. two man show wanted an honorable peace in vietnam, as did dr. kissinger and president johnson. lbj died before a peace treaty was negotiated. however, dr. kissinger and president nixon did advise the president. president johnson at the ranch just a few days before his death, that what they thought would be an honorable peace agreement was about to be signed. unfortunate the peace agreement dr. kissinger negotiated was violated by hanoi and completely disregarded within much of it, citing what the american people, especially the anti-war activists. and we know that there are many in this room tonight of that era. antiwar activists everywhere, especially on american campus
