Playing
cards had a role in the Vietnam War. The Viet Cong were
apparently superstitious and fearful of the Ace of Spades, which was
previously used by French fortunetellers in the area to signify death.
American commanders requested decks full of only the Ace of Spades and
Bicycle of course provided them (for free). American troops left the
cards in strategic places, and some Viet Cong would flee upon seeing
what they believed to be a bad omen
