Ho Chi Minh certainly would have welcomed US jets, tanks, guns, small arms, trucks, ammunition, food, spare parts, engineer assets, etc. But rest assured, no US Soldier, Marine, Airmen, or Sailor would've been allowed to set foot on North Vietnamese soil! (With the exceptions of technicians/advisers of course) The Vietnamese (both north & south) had already had an "ear full" of foreigners controlling their lands; Uncle Ho wouldn't tolerate it again, but the south...had "other needs" (capitalism/and monetary growth). The South would (and did) accept both material and men into their country.
The second half of the answer would be, the North would defeat the South, irregardless of US help. The Northerners were a VERY determined foe; Southerners were determined, but NOT as much as the Northerners where!
