In the Vietnam war of the communists vs the French and, later, the US, the Viet Cong guerillas fought an effective low-tech conflict.
Booby traps, ambush, use of tunnels: the communists were canny.
But they won the allegiance of many Vietnamese people in a harsh way: through murder of community leaders. Today we performed a skit in which the VC force the people to choose between hiding and feeding the guerillas and living a peaceful, impoverished farming life.
