Answer 1

The answer would be both C, and D.

You were never sure who your enemy was over there, by day people would work on our military bases, fight in the South Vietnamese army, and by night they would fight for the Vietcong, laying mines, committing sabotage, and murdering individual American, and Vietnamese soldiers, as well as anyone who openly supported the cause of the South Vietnamese government.

Answer 6

All of these answers are wrong; The real answer is the Vietcong were made up of guerrillas from the band of rebels, run by a guerrilla rebel leader, by the name of HO Chi Mien.

Ho Chi Mien was nothing more then a bandit leader like the rest of them, he was financed and armed, by the Chinese communists and, the Russians to wage an all out war against the Democratic government of South Vietnam.

I was there in '66 and '65 with the Northern Hmong fighting and teaching them how to use weapons we gave them, to fight back against these rebels.
It was however to much, the Chinese communists and the Russians came in, we actually saw the Russians and we were defenseless against there numbers.
We ran, fighting all the way to the South Blowing bridges and roads, fighting for our lives against these rebels.

They were not an official Army, they were rebels and armed bandits.
