The VC were victorious. They defeated the imperialist American yellow-dogs. America choses to fight weak nations where they can slaughter women, children, and elderly men. Americans are indeed yellow-dogs. Long live the VC ! Long live the PLO ! YANKEE GO HOME !
Cause the U.S. has a history of going into weak countries just to slaughter people. I think you got America confused with the VC and the NVA.

which weak countries did the VC and NVA invade and slaughter the citizens
More inferring to the Slaughter the VC and the NVA brought to the south.
the defensive struggle which would not have been precipitated but because of the presence of the USA and its support of diem
our forces were placed there with the intent that they would prevent the peoples' government of the viet minh from ruling the nation
it would appear, from a vietnamese perspective, that the VC and NVA were patriots of their country, by their ridding the nation of an occupying force
Expect when the North invaded the South we were already pull out and that doesn't excuse the Innocent Southern Vietnamese.
(1) Not to do what is likely to damage the land and crops or spoil the houses and belongings of the people;
(2) Not to insist on buying or borrowing what the people are not willing to sell or lend;
(3) Never to break our word;
(4) Not to do or speak what is likely to make people believe that we hold them in contempt;
(5) To help them in their daily work (harvesting, fetching firewood, carrying water, sewing, etc.)

You took Cold War history in high school?
I didn't realize I was dealing with an expert. I only read books and talked to people who lived through it.
Uhh seriously.... The communists won. We pulled out (gave up) and said well South your on your own now..
We should of never got in the war...
Well, we didn't really, "(give up)". But hey, you believe whatever Communist, revisionist history website you're subscribed to.
We pulled out, right? Quit fighting? You might be the revisionist.

America negotiated a truce and then pulled out in a time of peace, then North Vietnam violated the peace and attacked the south after they were gone. Where in that did America give up?
Not because we had been defeated on the battlefield. Do you fully understand what, "tactical", means and how it applies to warfare? It's ok to admit that you don't. Most of us fully recognize that you don't know near as much as you think you do.

You really don't have a clue, do you?

these are the same folks who will throw rocks at stop signs
they can't even figure out who won by noting the current name of what was once saigon: ho chi minh city
In that we never stayed in Vietnam long enough to see through what we wanted to be doing there in the first place when we decided to become involved.
We were there for 21 years.
What is it we wanted to be doing there in the first place? What were the goals? That's the issue. We had no clear goal, just a platitude about "fighting Communism".
No one won it.
The US acheived it's goal of making the South militarily self-sufficient, with the premise that the US would continue to supply war materiel as needed. Two years after the US combat troops left Vietnam, the South was defeated, mainly because the Democrat Congress in it's euphoria at having unseated Nixon naturally stabbed America's ally in the back.
The NORTH Vietnamese achieved their goal of enslaving those in the South as didn't manage to escape.
Those that have escaped that I've talked to say the Vietnamese lost the war. Since half the Vietnamese won, half lost, that adds up to zero.
The French haven't won a war since Austerlitz.
The Russians got what they wanted.
