Not just the South Vietnamese; the whole world used the term Viet Cong (VC); radio, television, newspapers, Life Magazine, Time Magazine, etc. It the term National Liberation Front was, MOST people didn't know what that meant. The term National Lib Front may have been buried in small print somewhere just to satisfy certain procedures...but otherwise, very few Americans knew the meaning of those words.
