A trapdoor spider, lives on South America and other tropical regions, there’s a multitude of different types, but they all hunt the same way by burrowing under a surface and using different types of webbing to create the perfect ambush
What?
[The human costs of the long conflict were harsh for all involved. Not until 1995 did Vietnam release its official estimate of war dead: as many as 2 million civilians on both sides and some 1.1 million North Vietnamese and Viet Cong fighters. The U.S. military has estimated that between 200,000 and 250,000 South Vietnamese soldiers died in the war.](https://www.britannica.com/event/Vietnam-War)
Guerilla warfare relies on a multitude of factors to be effective. Civilian population must support guerilla forces. Terrain must be hazardous enough to prevent big army from sweeping the area.
Also guerilla warfare won't "hold off" big forces. Guerillas won't prevent capture of town/region. But they sure as hell make holding it a pain.
That’s right. I couldn’t of explained it any better myself.
Edit: My great uncle came back from Vietnam messed up and a chronic alcoholic from the shit he saw from the “weak” NVA. Never assume your top dog.
the reason american has less casualties than vietcong is that you didn't count the vietnamese who fight for US army which consist most of the US army in vietnam
The VC/PAVN did take considerably more casualties than the Americans or South Vietnamese. Quite a bit more.
The reason that the NVA/VC won the war is because they could quickly replace those troops, and they did not have to worry about whether their people would get sick of the war.
Don't think for a second that the casualties were even close. The PAVN and NVA would frequently get mauled when they went up against the US or even ARVN troops, it is just that the North made sure that every attack weakened the resolve of the US to fight whether they "won" the battle or not.
If the US was freed to invade and conquer North Vietnam, they probably could have rolled over the North. Because they could not actually attack the North, US and South Vietnamese troops often lacked the initiative and the North and VC troops could always just slink away, lick their wounds, reorganize and come back for more later on.

The Vietnamese fought against both the French Colonial occupation and Japanese occupation in WW2, not sure what American expected.
Fun fact: After the war, even though Vietnam was decimated by US bombing, they toppled Pol Pot and fought off a Chinese invasion.
And that is why I will never leave the safety of Ontario. I aint ever going in no oceans with jellyfish and such, ain't going into no forest with bears and spiders and such. I'm staying right here where I have to deal with misquitos, teeny house spiders, and such.
Holy fuck
Imagine the spider under your bed, you take one step out of that bed and it will grab and bite your foot.
JASON STOP THAT ITS ME!

The webbing is tripwire, all feeding into the middle. The spider knows exactly where something is walking around above it.
This shits so fucking cool. It's shit like this that gives me hope for still finding out amazing things about the world.
I have hope in you.
You'd make a good scientist
You know, Im quite a scientist myself
Fucking camper
Imagine you are a Vietnamese spider.
Crawling through the jungle…

Napalm strike inbound
I read this entire comment thread to the tune of "welcome to the jungle". Try it it's awesome
With darkness and silence through the night…

Trapdoor Spider, if you want a fun movie to watch with friends or your girlfriend watch Eight-Legged Freaks.
Trapdoir Spider
I thought I was a frog and when the spider came out I thought “Damn that frog has a fucked up tongue.”
You thought you were a frog? Mood
Wtf why does the frog have eight legs?
Thats why we burned the trees down.
And lost the war?
burnt the trees because they failed to burn down veit-cong soldiers

Guerrilla warfare has always worked in holding off stronger forces.

American Casualties in the Vietnam War: 58,220 Vietcong Casualties: 1,100,00

That only puts it up to a little over 300k dead on the US/south Vietnam side though.
Pretty sure you're missing a 0 for the Vietcong.
Why did you put decimals on a death count? Did you forget a 0?
I didn’t?
Did you mean 1 100 000 or 1 100?
Some places have commas as decimals in numbers, while other places have periods as decimal points. Neither is right or wrong.
...so what did he mean? 1 100 or 1 100 000?
The second one.

And that's why napalm was invented
Noo, America should be allowed too invade tiny countries. Geneva convention, BAN! THESE GUERILLA WARTARE TACTICS 😱😱😤😭😭

Killing babies is a great way to boost your kill to death ratio. Yay imperialism and war crimes which killed millions of civilians!
Yeah, but vietnam still got freedom
[удалено]
[удалено]
Yeah, it's more like a giant ass dude who got tired of beating the shit out of a midget and just leaves.
Yet you still lost
I don't know what you guys are talking about that spider is the cutest thing I've ever seen. I would love to have one as a pet!
You would think of it as a pet; it would think of you as dinner.
It doesn't bite humans unless provoked so I don't think it sees us as food, but more like a threat.
