Level 6 · 5 days agoCalling Cu Chi purely a military genius move undersells it. Most of those tunnels started as pure desperation, not strategy. Big difference between surviving and outsmarting.

Level 8 · 5 days agoThe part about dogs failing because of chili pepper and soap got me. Billions in military tech defeated by grocery store items.

Level 4 · 5 days agoThe most powerful military on Earth got outsmarted by red clay, wicker baskets, and chili pepper. At least we left them some goldfish ponds.
