Can someone explain to me what the tunnel rats did or what happened to them or even what they encountered I've been wondering about the Vietnam War for days and can't find any answers so I thought I would ask here. Were these people forced into this role or did they volunteer to do it? What was in those tunnels they explored and why did they explore them?
More can always be said on the matter, so if anyone else wants to have a go at the Tunnel Rats and the underground that they explored, please don't let this post stop you! We always welcome further posts. While we wait for those, OP, you may be interested in these previous posts:
And because caution is important, u/Bernardito also weighs in in both threads on matters of how the tunnels are perceived and remembered today.
