in these people's minds, it's better to die fighting than submit to the US occupation. in US minds, they will get bored after a while and head home.
You're kidding right??...read your history kiddo...the VietCong's biggest push of the Vietnam War..the Tet Offensive in which they massed nearly everything they had hit over 80 provincial cities and towns across South Vietnam...they got their asses handed to them on a platter...they were decimated afterwards...

Were it not for the North's constant rearming them, and after TET actually taking over from the VietCong...they would have lost the war, it would have been only a matter of attrition.
