Why did American soldiers use Agent Orange? to detect Vietcong booby traps to disrupt the enemy's food supply to kill as many Vietcong guerrillas as possible to deter villages from harboring guerrillas

American Pickers - 2010 Buddy's Booby Trap 2-2 was released on: USA: 14 June 2010
During the Vietnam war the Vietcong made a tunnel network under Vietnam which they used for communication and supply routes. When the American troops found the entrance to one of these tunnels they would send one soldier down into the tunnel armed only with a gun, a knife, a flashlight and a piece of string. These soldiers were called 'tunnel rats'. They would explore the tunnels and then bring any papers or information back to the rest of his troops at the entrance to the tunnel. Many 'tunnel rats' were killed while down in the tunnels as the Vietcong set booby traps to kill the 'tunnel rats'.
Though at first glance, this might refer to a rodent, the term applies to the individuals who, generally armed with a handgun and flashlight, crawled into tunnels dug by the enemy in the Vietnam conflict. These soldiers braved an armed adversary, booby traps, pitfalls and other nasty things to insure the tunnels were clear.
It is usually called a booby trap.
