The North Vietnamese regard it as a war of liberation. The Americans saw it as a war against Communism. For them is was mostly a defensive and ´containment´ war, trying to keep the North Vietnamese from conquering South Vietnam.

Who were the NFC in the Vietnam war. or if you no what i am talking about but ihave it wrong please tell me?
US fighting men in Vietnam called the enemy either the NVA (North Vietnamese Army) or the VC (Viet Cong). Over the radio, during firefights, the transmissions would sound like, "...we have contact... November Victor Alpha (NVA)...Golf Charlie (Grid Coordinates)...1234...over!" Or: "...we have contact...Victor Charley (VC)...Golf Charlie (Grid Coordinates)...1234...request fire mission, over..." For those men that were NOT fighting, and were working around paper (administrative), and for politicians, the VC may have been called the NLF (National Liberation Front). But for the common fighting GI in Vietnam, NFL meant "National Football League." NFL or NLF... when you're in the jungle fighting, it's tomato/tomatoe. To avoid confusing an already confusing war, we just kept things simple: NVA/VC. Political Correctness was for the politicians.
