Article about Viet Nam tunnel rats...I suspect there is at least one vet here with a rat tattoo...

There is actually a Luger reference... :rolleyes:

(OMG! I'm getting as bad as Eric)... :(

Yup. It's in the title of the article I linked. ;)

There are lots of web sites on the tunnel rats. I couldn't find a pic of the actual tattoo, just the informal patch. :(

In Canton, I saw rats of rabbit size. Very bold too, not fear human very much. In my impression, big rat was a feature animal in humid and hot environment. There was report of prisoners' ear and nose bite off by rats in dirty jails.

Thanks for the link - great article!
Amazing what people will endure in wartime...
Cheers fellow vets.
