Where do I start? First of all jafar, the VC were not tough fighters. They were sneaky and rarely came out for a straight up fight. The only time they came out was when we stumbled onto them or went into a area where they had bases and large forces. Their favorite tactic was to hide in a village and start shooting at us, causing us to have to respond and shoot up innocent people. Sound familiar? hamas any one?
The NVA stayed hidden as much as they could too. Again they rarely came out for a straight up fight. The only time they and the VC did was in tet of 68. They got their ass royally creamed with 90% casualties among the VC. The VC after that were no longer an effect fighting force. The role had to be taken by the NVA.
The war as far as the US was concerned ended in 73 after Nixon finally bombed Hanoi and forced the north to the peace table. In 1975 the north attacked the south in an all out invasion. The US was not there. The democrat socialist in our congress had cut off all aid to South Vietnam, so the south couldn't really fight back and were literally over run. South Vietnam lost due to the US congress of that time.
And lastly, there were a lot of Aussies in Vietnam. Along with Filipinos, S. Koreans and others. Did your country lose the war because they pulled out along with the US?
When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.
