	Bambooweb: Viet Cong
		Viet Cong (Việt Cộng) was a name used by American and allied soldiers in Vietnam, as well as by much of the English language media to refer to the armed insurgents fighting against the Republic of Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
		The NLF and its guerrilla army, the People's Liberation Armed Forces (PLAF), never used the name "Viet Cong" to refer to themselves, and always asserted that they were a national front of all anti-RVN forces, communist or not.
		The U.S. military complained that the Viet Cong often diguised themselves as civilians, and thus U.S. troops could not tell the difference between the Viet Cong and civilians, as was true of the Taliban and al-Qaeda during the 2001-2002 War in Afghanistan.

	Viet Cong - Wikipedia
		Viet Cong (Việt Cộng) fu il nome utilizzato da americani e soldati alleati, durante la Guerra del Vietnam, per indicare le forze armate del Fronte Nazionale per la Liberazione del Vietnam (in vietnamita Mặt Trận Giải Phóng Miền Nam Việt Nam) o Fronte di Liberazione Nazionale (FLN).
		L'FLN e il suo esercito di guerriglieri, le Forze Armate di Liberazione del Popolo (FALP),non usarono mai il termine "Viet Cong" per riferirsi a se stessi, e sostennero sempre che erano un fronte nazionale di tutte le forze contro l'RVN, comuniste o meno.
		Nel 1969, il Fronte Nazionale formò un governo provvisorio della Repubblica del Vietnam del Sud, che prese il potere poco dopo la caduta di Saigon nel 1975 e prima della riunificazione della nazione sotto la leadership del Partito Comunista del Vietnam, con il nome di Repubblica Socialista del Vietnam nel 1976.

		For the Saigon government, the task of isolating the Viet Cong from the population was difficult under any circumstances and impossible to achieve by force alone.
		Viet Cong military forces varied from hamlet and village guerrillas, who were farmers by day and fighters by night, to full-time professional soldiers.
		Yet when American units were shifted to the border, the local Viet Cong units gained a measure of relief Westmoreland faced a strategic dilemma: he could not afford to keep substantial forces away from their bases for more than a few months at a time without jeopardizing local security.

		The field commander of the Viet Cong forces that Terry Allen's Black Lions encountered in October 1967 had been fighting on and off against those he considered foreign occupiers for 15 years.
		His unit was one of the first "main force" squadrons of Viet Cong sent from the north, and the average age of its soldiers was 35.
		The Viet Cong could almost never match American firepower, so Triet and his men relied on a combination of stealth and surprise, as well as their knowledge of the countryside.

		Also there is the implication that this "later time" might come to the Viet Cong as the result of exploiting the political advantages resulting from their infiltration of the South Vietnamese government.
		If, however, unreformed Viet Cong are eligible to vote and run for provincial office and for delegates in a constituent assembly we would appear to be tacitly encouraging the eventual creation of the type of coalition government which, on past occasions, we have publicly equated to communization of South Viet-Nam.
		As a practical matter, the Viet Cong will never allow government officials to operate in their areas of authority nor is it likely that we will find many government officials willing to try to enter Viet Cong bailiwicks unless amply supported by ARVN bayonets.

	Vietnam - La sporca guerra
		I Viet cong non combattevano per conquistare e mantenere un territorio, e nemmeno s’impegnavano in battaglie decisive, in modo da evitare che gli americani potessero sviluppare la superiorità nella potenza di fuoco.
		A volte i viet cong si limitavano a bombardare l’obiettivo con i mortai, ma se erano certi della loro superiorità numerica, sferrando un assalto fino in fondo.
		Grazie alle precise informazioni, alla disciplina e alla capacità d'occultamento, i viet cong erano in grado di costringere gli americani a combattere in posizione di svantaggio, nonostante la superiorità della potenza di fuoco e della mobilità.

	Viet Cong
		The National Front for the Liberation of Vietnam (or National Liberation Front) was known to American soldiers in Vietnam as the Viet Cong -- from a contraction for the Vietnamese phrase Việt Nam Cộng Sản, or "Vietnamese Communist."
		Later, during the Vietnam War, the RVN and the United States government used this expression to refer to the National Front for the Liberation of Vietnam (NLF) and its guerrilla army, the People's Liberation Armed Forces[?] (PLAF).
		(The NLF and the PLAF themselves never used this expression to refer to themselves, and always asserted that they were a national front of all anti-RVN forces, communist or not.) It is this use of "Viet Cong" that most people in the United States and Europe are most familiar.

	The Viet Cong, Communist or Capitalist?
		In much of the 20th century world, however, a capitalist class was not developed sufficiently to control the state in the manner of classic capitalism and the state bureaucracy, from the outset of successful revolution, usurped most of the prerogatives of private capitalists.
		The trick is to convince this majority, despite the fact of its lack of ownership and its abject poverty that it is part of the nation.
		The Viet Cong, functioning as a partial political and military mouthpiece of state capitalist China and Russia, naturally does what it is told.

		The Agreement on the Cessation of Hostilities in Viet-Nam, signed on July 20, 1954, by representatives of France and the Viet Minh, established a truce line at the 17th parallel, the Communists to withdraw to the north, the non-Communists and French to the south.

	The Role of Airpower in Viet-Nam (Site not responding. Last check: )
		There can be no doubt that aerial interdiction, in combination with naval surveillance of the sea supply routes, has greatly reduced the support which the Viet Cong are receiving from the outside and that it will have an increasing impact on their guerrilla operations throughout the remainder of the war.
		For instance, airpower was called upon to deny the Viet Cong another type of sanctuary that is peculiar to guerrilla warfare in that part of the world—the jungle.
		Apparently, this vicious claim is widely believed by Viet Cong partisans who, as a result, fear the defoliant’s alleged toxic effects on themselves as much as its impact on their ambush tactics.

		Here's my pet peeve -- "Viet Cong." In this case, the pejorative meaning ("commie") and blanket denunciatory use of the term, dating back to Diemist terror campaigns, is, I think, beyond doubt.
		Actually, I try to avoid using Viet Cong which began as "Viet Gian Cong San", a phrase used extensively by the Ngo Dinh Diem government as I was growing up.
		The insidiousness of "Viet Cong" was its open invitation to abuse, torture, rape, kill people thus dehumanized without any compunction.
