Vietnamese were divided into two (or more) groups during the war. The North Vietnamese, regular army, used some of the same conventional weapons (ships, machine guns, tanks, planes, long range guns) as did the US... only they had very much fewer of them. The Viet Cong (VC), which were the Communist rebels which eventually took over South Vietnam, used more small scale weapons and weapons of secrecy, hidden bombs, more small arms fire and the like, as their number one weapon was secrecy and moving around quietly, while hiding in the bush often, to catch their enemy...the US and South Vietnamese troops off guard.

Nixon had been elected on a promise to Vietnamize the war, meaning more fighting would be turned over to the South Vietnamese army, and to start bringing home American troops.

Congress reacted to the antiwar feeling and repealed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution which gave the President the authority to send troops and fight the war in Vietnam. The United States did not lose the Vietnam War. Although some may argue that by pulling out of South Vietnam we did just that.
