Any container (box, bottle, can, tube, lunch box, tool box, briefcase) was used when packed with demolitions. In the "bush" on patrol, standard grenades tied between trees with a fishing line between them was a trap. Once the string was stepped on the pin was released. A GI with good ears might hear the "spoon" release and jump for cover (and hope he doesn't land on another one during the process). Better yet, a "GOOD POINT MAN" would locate the trap, halt the patrol, and then destroy it in place (or disarm it, if the patrol wanted to remain quiet).

What is a Vietnam tunnel rat?
During the Vietnam war the Vietcong made a tunnel network under Vietnam which they used for communication and supply routes. When the American troops found the entrance to one of these tunnels they would send one soldier down into the tunnel armed only with a gun, a knife, a flashlight and a piece of string. These soldiers were called 'tunnel rats'. They would explore the tunnels and then bring any papers or information back to the rest of his troops at the entrance to the tunnel. Many 'tunnel rats' were killed while down in the tunnels as the Vietcong set booby traps to kill the 'tunnel rats'.
Who decided to divide Vietnam?
That was quite complicated. After French troops were defeated in the battle of Dien Bien Phu in May 7, 1954, the Geneva Conference (which had been held before) came to an agreement known as the Geneva Accords. In this this set of treaties, France and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam both agreed to withdraw their troops to different parts of the country (Vietnamese forces to the North, and French troops to the South). After that, French army would retreat completely from Vietnam and two regions would unify in an election. However, U.S. government later refused to follow that schedule because they had never signed the Accords. They set up a pro-America government with Ngo Dinh Diem as president in South Vietnam while communists still controlled the North. To conclude, it was France, America and, ironically, Vietnam (didn't know what it was doing) who divided Vietnam.
