Good question. Must be the mis-informed people talking about the Tet Offensive of 1968. That wasn't a VC uprising...that was a communist offensive orchestrated by Hanoi and executed by the NVA; using a the VC as an additional "tool" for the attack.
Tet accomplished two things: Made the US look bad & destroyed the VC as a pliable force. As projected by North Vietnam, if and when they won the war against the US/allies they would'nt have to contend with the VC afterwards.
Bottom line: They were getting rid of two enemies with one stroke. The VC being projected as a future adversary when the dust settled.
