Unable to stop (control) the flow of enemy men & material coming into South Vietnam; without widening the war into neighboring neutral countries, and risking a confrontation with the communist superpowers. Losing the support of their fellow countrymen at home.

For the men: Mud during the rainy season; waist deep mud 24/7 in the Mekong Delta; mosquitos 24/7; snakes and leeches alot (not quite 24/7); eating cold canned food (C rations) on a daily basis. Sleeping whenever you can, fighting occurred mostly at night. Sleeping in mud. Sleeping in rain. Always wet (24/7). No toilets for weeks at a time. Brushing your teeth in a creek, or a beer or soda can full of river water. Bathing in a creek/river, washing your clothes (uniform) while you're wearing it.
