Rusk expressed skepticism about the South Vietnamese government's ability to effectively combat the communist forces, particularly the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army. He was concerned about issues such as internal corruption, lack of popular support, and the government's overall stability. Despite these concerns, Rusk believed that with continued U.S. support and military assistance, the South Vietnamese could bolster their defenses and improve their chances against communism. However, he acknowledged that the fight would be challenging and required significant commitment from both the South Vietnamese leadership and the United States.

Why did the Vietnamese guerrillas fight the French in Indochina?

France was the only country after WW2 that refused to grant independence to its Asian colonies. Ho Chi Minh had tried to ask the U.S. to help negotiate with the French, but the U.S. refused because he had had communist contacts during WW2. That left no option but a war of independence against France, which as the only military support he could get was from his previous communist contacts Vietnam eventually became a communist nation.
