Left over small arms from WWII, captured allied small arms, then later equipped with the SKS and AKs.
I was not involved in the Vietnam war. That was between the American (and Australians and south Vietnamese) and the Vietcong.
VC were "communists" living in SOUTH Vietnam.
Nuclear weapons were not used during the Vietnam war
North Vietnamese are inhabitants of North Vietnam, while Vietcong are Vietnamese warriors during the Viet war.
The VC lived off caches, captured, and smuggled weapons. The NVA brought theirs down with them, when they marched down the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
No Vietnamese prime minister was assasinated, but South Vietnam President Ngo Dinh Diem was killed by Vietcong during a raid from north to south during the Vietnam War.
the Vietcong could strike any major city in South Vietnam.
During the Vietnam war the term "Charlie" referred to "cong"...as in the Vietcong http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viet_Cong
The Vietnam War hands down. Those Vietcong are crazy.
The "Vietcong" lead by Ho Chi Minh were the leaders of North Vietnam during the war and they were communist. Vietnam was divided into the North and the South before the war, they were basically two separate countries, but the Vietcong aimed to take over the South and turn it communist. The Americans were allies of the South as they hated communism and wanted to stamp it out.
No, Vietnam was LIMITED to conventional weapons only. A limited war.
They are still there they were the victors in the war with the US and now rule Vietnam.
