Must be a new fad 21st century term. Never heard of it. GIs going into tunnels (also known as bunkers during the war) armed with .45s were called "tunnel rats" because thats what you'll find in those tunnels rats! And lots of them.

The NVA infiltrated from the north, but the VC "Lived" in South Vietnam. Consequently the VC had to hide (cache) weapons, ammunition, medical supplies, explosives, food, etc. Since the US deployed aircraft 24/7, anything could be seen from the air, therefore...they dug tunnels; tunnels CANNOT be seen from the air (except today's hi-tech computers).
The VC had tunnels in most places thru-out RVN.
Tunnels were utilized by communist forces in Vietnam to avoid aerial reconnaissance aircraft. Supplies, men, and underground medical facilities were just a part of their under-ground network.
The holes were spider holes. The soldiers who went into the holes to ferret out the enemy were called tunnel rats and in general had a short lifespan.

The battlefields during World War II were filled with death and destruction. Often, soldiers would fight from holes and trenches in the ground and they didn't have a lot to eat. It was often cold and precipitation fell on the heads of soldiers.
Bolt holes were used in the trenchs to hide away from and bombs coming, the bolt hole werent so very big so it was a very cramped space.
