Most Vietnamese people at the time were in favor of communists (which were also portrayed as patriots) - like President Eisenhower had written: "[if a free election had been hold] 80 per cent of the population would have voted for the Communist Ho Chi Minh" - so it is very easy to understand that they saw Americans as invaders and who worked for South Vietnamese government as collaborators. Therefore, Vietnamese always think of their war as a war of resistance (against Imperialism), a moral war and they are very prod that they have defeated the most powerful country in history.
