Answer 2

tex]\mathfrak{\huge\underline{Answer:}}[/tex] ,

(a) Ho Chi Minh trail was an important link to understand the real nature of war between Vietnam and the US. As a porter on that trail I felt proud because it was the matter of great honour. With a very limited resource the Vietnamese could resist against the US forces. This trail was an immense network of footpaths and roads. It was used to transport men and materials from the north to the south. It had also support bases and hospitals. In some parts supplies were transported in trucks but mostly we, the porters, did these jobs. We used to carry about 25 kilos on our backs or about 70 kilos on our bicycles. The trail was bombed regularly by the US forces in order to disrupt supplies but we were so prompt that we could rebuild the damage very quickly. It was our confidence and devotion to our nation that made us do so and we could fight such a super power.
