Tour Of Duty
The Vietnam War defined a generation, whether
it was through service in Vietnam or opposition to the war. The war in
Vietnam remains one the bloodiest wars since the Second World War.

One of the big advantages the local forces have is the ability to
blend in with the population. This makes it difficult for Imperialist
and puppet forces to detect ambushes and attacks before the local forces
are in position.
The Communist cause has the advantage of the support of the local
resistance, be they simply locals who contribute food and medicines, or
active fighters who scout out imperialist and puppet positions and plant
bombs.
