Best Answer

because of the tactics that the Vietcong were using against American soldiers. They were underground most of the time to get hospitality, food, sleep and making plans. This was a war where the USA weren't wanted (by the country - Vietnam)

Our army at the time was mainly trained for urban warfare,meaning cities or towns like the cites in the Middle East. Vietnam was in the jungle and our troops were constantly being ambushed and the viet cong knew the land far more better then out troops.
