Description
And against all odds, badly equipped and poorly fed, the famed VC demonstrated how a strong willpower, combined with cleverness, tactics, a great knowledge of the terrain and, of course, supported by an urge for peace all around the world, can defeat even the most powerful of military oppressors.

This is just an attempt to show that they were just people too, just like the men they were fighting against.

The Vietcong, or VC, were a communist army and political organization formed from the communists of South Vietnam and Cambodia. They became famous for facing the US army - probably the most well equipped army in the world - with a really limited gear of their own. Despite the huge technological gap between forces, they caused terribly high casualties with their hit-and-run tactics, tunnel networks, surprise attacks, well-placed traps, an amazing capacity to move supplies and equipment through the forest with every transportation available (mostly bikes), and a unmatched knowledge of the local terrain. The VC suffered extremely heavy casualties, and were practically defeated at the Tet offensive, but their damage and legacy of merciless resistance against a foreign opressor left a scar on the US army and greatly contributed to the end of the war.
