	Vietnam People's Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the Second Indochinese War (Vietnam War) (1957–1975), the U.S. incorrectly referred to it as the North Vietnamese Army (NVA), or People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) and this term is commonly found throughout Vietnam War-related subjects.
		The President of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam is the Commander-in-Chief, while the Minister of National Defense oversees operations of the VPA.
		The Vietnam People's Army is comprised of various units of the main forces (Chủ lực), local forces (Địa phương) and the People's Defence Forces (Dân quân-Tự vệ).

	Vietnam: We Could Have Won (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		On the 25th Anniversary of our withdrawal from Vietnam, it is constructive to look back and ask if the U.S. military ever discovered the elements of a strategy in South Vietnam that, given the proper circumstances, might have achieved American objectives.
		General Westmoreland's strategy of attrition scripted the Vietnam Conflict as a war of strength, mobility and firepower; yet from Hanoi's perspective, it was nothing less than a war of national will and survival.
		Denied the evolutionary process of developing and training its force from the outset, South Vietnam's inability to independently defend itself was starkly demonstrated during the Easter Offensive led by the Peoples Army of [North] Vietnam (PAVN) in 1972.

	H-Net Review: John McNay on A Noble Cause: America and the Vietnam War (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Vietnam began within the context of the heritage of the Korean War and in the context of Sputnik.
		More accurately, service in Vietnam reflected discrimination against, "the young, the under-educated, and the poor." College graduates enlisting in the army had a 40 percent chance of being sent to Vietnam, the high school grad, a 65 percent chance, and the drop out, a 70 percent chance.
		Far from being the dope-crazed social rejects as they have frequently been characterized, DeGroot argues that the American army in Vietnam was the "best-educated force America has ever sent to war." As DeGroot recounts, however, morale within the army began to break down as the war hopelessly dragged on.

	Timeline Vietnam to 1974
		Vietnam was soon partitioned between a regime in Hanoi led by Ho Chi Minh and an anti-communist regime in Saigon under Ngo Dinh Diem.
		American involvement in the Vietnam War was analyzed by H.R. McMaster In his 1997 book: "Dereliction of Duty: Lyndon Johnson, Robert McNamara, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Lies that Led to Vietnam." Agent Orange used dioxins as the active ingredient in the herbicide.
		The agreement by the United States and North Vietnam included a ban on infiltration of arms or personnel to reinforce North Vietnamese troops in the South, as well as a ban on the use of Laotian or Cambodian territory for that purpose.

		These studies should be of great value in helping the Army develop future operational concepts while at the same time contributing to the historical record and providing the American public with an interim report on the performance of men and officers who have responded, as others have through our history, to exacting and trying demands.
		The American people take their law with them, insofar as they are able, and they find it difficult to accept when other nations do not see justice in the same light they do.
		It was early apparent that law could have a special role in Vietnam because of the unusual circumstances of the war, which was a combination of internal and external war, of insurgency and nation-building, and of development of indigenous legal institutions and rapid disintegration of the remnants of the colonial French legal establishment.

		In South Vietnam the U.S. made a quantum attempt to halt Communist aggression and it was there the United States realized it obsessive compulsion to impose a capitalist hegemony on an impoverished Third World nation conflicted with limited resources.
		Although the United States air campaign inflicted massive damages to Vietnam’s rural and urban enclaves and the U.S. equipped its allies with sophisticated weaponry, the conflict, ironically, was still asymmetrical.
		As the war progressed it exposed the folly of U.S. military and global policy as well as its failure to instill viable political, economic, and social institutions in South Vietnam.
