For the most part; supporters of the Vietnam War were: Family & Friends supporting a family member in the US Military or in Vietnam; and Veterans; as well as civilian employees in the Defense Fields. Australia's Liberal Party and Country Party politicians and front line soldiers also supported the war.
There were three names by which South Vietnamese supporters of the North Vietnamese during the Vietnam War were known. One was Viet Cong. The phrase was a shortened form of the Vietnamese "Viet Nam Cong San," for Vietnamese Communist. It was first used by Ngo Dinh Diem [January 3, 1901-November 2, 1963], First President of the Republic of [South] Vietnam, to describe the opponents to his government and the supporters of the Democratic Republic of [North] Vietnam. President Diem held office from October 26, 1955, until the overthrow of his government and his assassination. But the South Vietnamese supporters didn't identify themselves as Viet Cong. Instead, they preferred recognition of their membership in, or support for, the pro-North guerrilla army and political group. For pro-Northerners joined, or supported, the People's Liberation Armed Forces aka PLAF. Or they joined, or supported, the National Front for the Liberation of Southern Vietnam aka National Liberation Front and NLF.

Patriots or supporters of the war would get the same treatment as the GI's did from the anti-war protesters.
The Chicago riots, Berkley campus riots, and the Kent State shootings were not in support of the Vietnam war. Neither were draft card burnings. The only supporters of the war were the "usual suspects"...the profiteers (war industry).
Some well-known celebrity supporters of the Vietnam War in the US included John Wayne, Charlton Heston, Elvis Presley, and Bob Hope. These individuals publicly voiced their support for the war effort and often visited troops overseas. They believed in the cause and felt it was their patriotic duty to support the US government's involvement in Vietnam.
Yes, but the anti-war people outnumbered (and where more out-spoken) than the supporters.
Basically, the Vietnamese sides, north and south, each had allies and supporters. These allies joined with the troops in Vietnam. The US was on the side of the south. They lost.
Vietnam Wat was an important phase in the history of Asia. The country had a long history of struggles with the Europeans and then with the Americans. basically the war took place because of the conflict between the communist supporters and the oppositions in the area. The war came to an end with the victory of the communists in the area and the withdrawal of the americans.
Q who was the victor of the Vietnam war? A I have no idea who won the Vietnam war!!!!
No, the Vietnam War was in Vietnam
This is the main one- South Vietnam and its supporters were not sufficient enough to defeat Communist North Vietnam, who had the help of China and other Communist countries. So the South was defeated, the North took over the South and combined South and North into one country, Vietnam. Due to the whole country becoming Communist many South Viets fled the country as refugees.
