They were tough when the US went after them with jets, tanks, and infantrymen; but they weren't so tuff when SEALS/SF (Special Forces-Green Berets)/LRRPS (Long Range Reconnaissance Patrols)/and US Army/US Marine snipers were deployed against them. Then they made the error of "surfacing" during the TET offensive of '68. That finished them. With 20/20 hindsight, it may not have been an error...Hanoi may have expended them; so that NVA troops could handle the war from then on. Not an original ploy, it's been used since man has fought wars.
The Vietcong were South Vietnamese and Cambodians in a political organization supported by North Vietnam to carry out guerrilla attacks against South Vietnam it support of the northern military.

North Vietnam was the communist area after the division. But more specifically the Vietminh, or Vietcong. Ho Chi Minh was the leader.
The Vietcong were forces aiding North Vietnam by use of guerrilla warfare tactics. They were virtually unable to be picked out from the South Vietnamese civilians, making it difficult to combat these forces.
Certainly yes. Our goal was to stop the spread of communism which the North Vietnamese(Communists) was going to or planning to invade the South Vietnamese. The South Vietnamese dressed the same as the Charlies(Vietcong) and north vietnamese though so it was a stressful time just to confirm who was who.

By their determination. They wouldn't give up...!
The United States where fighting the North Vietnamese Army to deter communism in South Vietnam. The Chinese also were a part of the conflict however not so much as a direct entity as a funding source for the NVA.
Are you talking avout NVA, Vietcong, South Vietnamese? Can you please be a little more specific, I can't help you if you can't be specific.
