I suppose we didn't lay any mines in Vietnam; we had South Vietnam do it? Obviously you need to refresh your knowledge of the nature of how the US fought in Vietnam. It was the US who suffered the most from boobytraps and landmines in Vietnam. And it was the VC and NVA who laid them.... The mines the US laid we documented (in order to avoid our OWN troops from stumbing into them), and located around firebases, the location of which is widely recorded. Where the US has some issues lay in the area of unexploded ordnance from bombs that failed to detonate, and cluster munitions. But we've recently been working with Vietnam to assist them in dealing with these. Hawk
