    The US military tried this tactic with the Vietcong tunnels in Vietnam. How’d that work out?

      Worked better than sending soldiers into the tunnels to perform one-on-one combat in a very confined space.

        I mean, tunnel rats did that work largely to capture intel and the sort, which flooding sort of destroys.
