Not a huge problem but something I would not have considered.




And if it was my son killed in Vietnam by a tiger I am sure I would be calling BS and wanting the real answer.

I saw a tiger coming out of the bush toward the river outside of basecamp, An Khe Vietnam. They were there.

No doubt tigers were a bigger problem in Vietnam than in, say, Africa ...

This was covered in Apocalypse Now. Never get out of the boat. NSFW

First thing that came to mind reading the thread title.

there are very few first hand accounts of tiger encounters during the war. almost all of the stories you find online are about somebody that knew a guy who knew a guy that saw a tiger.

anyways, I have no idea what videos were posted here bc i'm on a DOD computer and 95% of the internet is blocked.

interesting topic though.

So you escaped the Gulag and are working for the DoD now? I'm sure you have ALL the horror stories of bureaucracy.

Outdoor board will tell you it was a yellow lab.

It stands to reason that there were tigers in Vietnam. Vietnam is in SE Asia. And at that time the distribution of tigers included just about all of mainland SE Asia (plus Indonesia) ...

Yeah, you should have heard that tiger scream...more than me heard him used to hear him at night...was downright spooky.
