The Vietnamese were extremely resilient and without this they would of never survived. Look up Guerrilla warfare on Google, they would attack anonymously and run away in their 'black pyjamas' blending in with civilians. Their living conditions were cramped as they would live underground in the forests, building extraordinary small tunnels which they lived in creating complicated routes and often booby trapping a few dead ends in case the US Army tried to investigate. They would set traps in the forests, sharp wooden pikes hidden by leaves, use trip wires to trigger off explosives they had created etc, and would leave subtle symbols for their fellow team to acknowledge that there was a trap. Their main weapon was the AK47 as it was light and versatile, and can even be hidden underwater and still be fully functional. The Russians supplied these weapons to the north Vietnamese government and would be smuggled in over the border using the Ho Chi Minh Trail, which was a stream of complicated dusty roads, if one was bombed there would always be another route to take, and so on. Do not forget the importance of non censorship in American television, their news broadcasts had brutal images of children being scalded by napalm and so disgusted the American public, and made the people question why they were in this war, and fought to get their men back on US soil.

What disadvantages did the Vietcong have in the Vietnam War?
The Vietcong were a light infantry force, primarily used for guerrilla warfare. They had virtually no heavy equipment and no navy or air force. Like most guerrilla forces, they had virtually no training in infantry tactics, and poor leadership. They were used by the main North Vietnamese Army to harass the ARVN and US forces, and to conduct politically-oriented actions against South Vietnamese citizens. The Vietcong's primary value was to provide the illusion of a threat to the ARVN and US forces, and to be a large political lever to use against the South Vietnamese government.
