How did people use c-4 during the Vietnam war?
In the Vietnam War, it was a plastic explosive used to get rid of unwanted ordnance (destruction of duds and bad explosives, ammunition, etc.). However, unofficially, and heavily discouraged by the US Army, nearly every single GI in the field used it to cook their C rations with. And every GI knew not to put it out by stomping on it, he'd lose his foot to an explosion if he did that. C4 could cook your C rat can of beef slices with pototoes and gravy within about 120 seconds, and probably less time. The Army began issuing "heat tabs" (heat tablets) to replace the heavy uses of C4 for cooking, by saying C4 was too expensive for that purpose, which it probably was, however, the more important reason was most likely that C4 could cause death & injury if it went off. In contrast to the C4, the heat tablet took forever to light, could ONLY be lit by a direct flame, and could not be used inside a tank or tent or other enclosed structure as it let out a gas that heavily burned your eyes and lungs. The flame was also of a very low intensity and it took many minutes to cook a can of C rats, when C4 could do it within seconds, even within the turret of a tank (but not even tank crewmen liked using C4 inside an enclosure).
How did the hijackers get through security on the September 11th attacks?
They got through security because they were not actually carrying "dangerous" weapons and were not detected carrying explosives. They held the air crew outside the cabin hostage with box-cutters and innocent-looking toiletry knives, forcing the pilots to open the door. The terrorists also had C4 explosive vests, which they threatened to detonate in mid-air if the pilots didn't open the door or if they flew the plane down to land. Either way, for the pilots, it was a lose-lose situation. Whether they opened the door to the cabin or not, everybody on the plane would still have died. The events led to the USA and UK placing undercover armed Air Marshals on every British and American flight, with guns specially designed to penetrate muscle and bone, but not holes in the plane. The events also led to Allied governments re-designing doors on national plane cockpits, making them able to withstand being forced open or blown open with small explosives. Allied airports have also upgraded security scanners which now take an x-ray photograph of people passing through. They also have dog patrols with canines specially trained to detect the smell of explosives. Also, blades, no matter how small or innocent-looking, and passengers liquids (drinks, shampoos containing peroxide, etc) have been banned on planes.
What were the World War 2 draft classifications?
Registered for the draft, but deferred by age (over 28). Typically a 1H person registered for the draft but was never called for a physical. It was considered unlikely that person would be called up. But in World War 2, male civilians up to the age of 44 were drafted into the armed services. Many, of course, had already enlisted before they would have been drafted.

Same as for US servicemen; hot, humid, no bath, no toilets, no showers, drinking water from creeks and rivers or bomb craters, leeches, snakes, MOSQUITOES, rats, spiders, always dirty always hot and usually damp; same clothes (uniforms for weeks at a time). Cold canned food every night and almost every day (unless you heated your "C" rations on a bit of C4 and you certainly weren't going to do that at night time).

Who invented C4 bomb?
No single individual or even group of individuals invented C4, it evolved in a series of changes and improvements due to changing military requirements and operational conditions over time.C4 was a reformulation of C3 which was a reformulation of C2 which was a reformulation of C1 which was developed during World War 2 as an improvement on the Composition B and Composition A explosives that the US military was then using. Note: C1 through C4 are Composition C explosives. All three (Composition A, Composition B, and Composition C) explosives have numbered revisions, C4 is just the 4th revision of the basic Composition C formula.The original US Composition A formula was adapted from a British formula for plastique explosive, which was then being supplied to the French resistance (thus the spelling "plastique").
