	Punji stick
		The presence of punji sticks may be camouflaged by natural undergrowth, crops, grass, brush or similar materials.
		Punji sticks were sometimes deployed in the preparation of an ambush.
		Punji sticks were not necessarily meant to kill the person who stepped on it; rather they were designed to wound the enemy and tie up his unit while the victim was evacuated to a medical facility.

		It is a stick mounted vertically in the ground with a sharpened, sometimes fire hardened, point at the top, typically placed in a pit in the ground to impale the unwary.
		The tip of the punji stick was frequently smeared with feces to promote infection in the wound created by the stick.

		In this case, however, someone had cut a sapling down, about 3/4" or 1" in diameter, and left a stump about 3" or 4" long, cut at an angle.
		So it was kind of like a little spear point aimed at the trail-what many of us refer to as "punji sticks".
		I'm sure it was not done maliciously, just carelessness or lack of awareness of proper techniques.

		But first the most senior "vet" to visit Vietnam since the U.S. war against communism here failed, stopped for a moment's reflection, lit an incense stick and placed two red roses at a memorial to seven Americans and nine Vietnamese killed in a helicopter crash in April.
		He served here twice as a soldier, flying into Saigon, capital of the then U.S.-backed South Vietnam, which is now called Ho Chi Minh City, and was injured twice, once when he stood on a poisoned punji stick and once in a helicopter crash.
