This is the experience recounted of an American veteran who fought in Vietnam
If you meet an anonymous battlefield. Shoot just one shot so the bullet doesn’t hit anyone. What happens after that will tell you which army the trench belongs to.
If from that trench shoots out machine gun bullets, it must be the Germans.
– If the response of your shot is a series of fast and accurate rifles, it must be British.
– If a soldier in the war halo weapons and surrenders a white flag, it is Italian.
– If everything is quiet after five minutes and then your position has been crushed by air and artillery then it must be US soldiers.
– If a sea of T-34 appears, then the vodka-smelling soldiers in the trench rush towards you and shout: “Uraaaa!” That means you have encountered Russian soldiers.

– If you don’t see any response from that wild battle. Everything is quiet after 3 ~ 5, even 10 minutes, you can be assured that there are no people, then the surrounding trees and rocks anywhere around you start to move and say: “They You invaders! Get out of my country now! ” With a series of AK47 points that are pinned to you, you must have met the Vietnamese soldiers.
It can be said that “The bush can speak Vietnamese” has become an obsession of all American soldiers in Vietnam. The people who caused this obsession were none other than the Vietnamese commandos.
