You can use the term "Vietnamese" now because there is such a thing. But technically you couldn't during the war because there were two categories of Vietnamese; Southern ones and Northern ones. They were separate countries like todays South Carolina, South Dakota, and West Virginia are separate states in the United States of America. Those are separate states from North Carolina, NORTH Dakota, and the state of VIRGINIA.
The Vietnam War would be like North Carolina or North Dakota fighting South Carolina and South Dakota.
North Vietnam was the enemy in the Viet War. South Vietnam was the ally of the US.

What were Ho Chi Minh's views on Vietnam and communism and the South Vietnamese and America's involvement in the war?
"Uncle Ho", as GI's referred to him, was a communist, and was very adamant on NOT allowing any more foreigners in Vietnam, this included his superpower communist allies the Red Chinese and Soviet Union; Ho Chi Minh had spent 10 years expelling the French, no other nation was going to be allowed to gain a foot hold in his country; FRIEND or Foe. He believed the south was part of the north, and that the US was no different than any other foreigner who had no business being in Vietnam; communist or not (Cold War or not).
Why was it difficult for American soldiers to tell friend from foe in the Vietnam war?
Two reasons: 1. Prior to the Tonkin Gulf Incidents in '64, the war in South Vietnam was fought by guerrillas (VC). As a rule, guerrillas DID NOT wear uniforms and they utilized CAPTURED weapons. Thusly, you had "anyone" (man, woman, or child) walking around with a gun (US supplied or captured from previous wars: US Rifle 1903 bolt action Springfield, British Lee Enfield bolt action .303s, WWII Japanese 7.7mm Arisaka bolt action rifles, US Tommy Guns, US M1 carbines, M1 Garand US Rifles, .45 pistols, etc.). Until the entry of the uniformed NVA from North Vietnam who came equipped with Soviet/Chicom AK47s or SKSs in 1965...there was a problem. 2. Secondly, all wars, and Vietnam was no exception, have had incidents in which the enemy deployed innocent civilians as terrorists.
