I always knew there was a good reason they sent me to Vietnam; it just took me awhile to figure it out: to make the country safe for American tourists who want to have the VC experience:
At the beginning of the tunnel complex here, there's a wall draped with clothing - vests, cone-shaped peasant hats, capes in camouflage colors. Oh yes, and rifles. Real rifles, but thankfully without the ammo.
You can rent these things. And wear them while crawling through the tunnels. So much the better to feel like a guerilla.
God almighty.
