| It took two years after the American withdrawal from Vietnam for Saigon to fall to the Vietcong. |
|
| He asked his forces to lay down their arms and called on the Vietcong to halt all hostilities. |
|
| And the Vietcong and North Vietnamese were a tougher, more tenacious enemy, he says. |
|
| Early on 31 January 1968, North Vietnamese and Vietcong forces attacked 27 of South Vietnam's 44 provincial capitals and scores of villages. |
|
| We were there, like Wilsonian idealists, to protect the South against the totalitarian regime of the North and its Vietcong allies. |
|
| Thailand, as an ally of the United States, sent forces to support South Vietnam in its war against North Vietnam and the insurgent Vietcong. |
|
| Colombia's guerrillas have no big outside country to support them the way the Vietcong and North Vietnamese army had the Soviet Union and China. |
|
| Sure, we lost tens of thousands of troops, but the North Vietnamese Army and Vietcong lost hundreds of thousands more. |
|
| He becomes a brother to the special forces and their Montagnard soldiers, smashing Vietcong units to bits with airpower. |
|
| But the graduated air attacks on North Vietnam did not dissuade the Vietcong. |
|
| That conflict did not end until the Vietcong occupied South Vietnam and unified the country under their communist banner. |
|
| These numbers reminded me of the ever-growing numbers of supposedly killed Vietcong the US military was always reporting during that misguided war. |
|
| An ultimatum was given to the Vietcong and North Vietnam ordering them to leave Cambodia. |
|
| Fortunately, he added, the Vietcong were bad shots, and he perfected running full speed in a duckwalk. |
|
| Two Vietcong soldiers received North Vietnam's highest military-exploit medal for winning this battle. |
|
| During the Vietnam War between 1969 and 1973, Cambodia was the target of massive bombing aimed at destroying Vietcong bases. |
|
| The Chief of State Sihanouk now officially complained about the increasing presence of Vietcong troops in Cambodia. |
|
| In order to train the Khmer Rouges, the Vietcong infiltrations went as far as the Cardamomes Mountains in Pursat Province! |
|
| Both the Colombian drug cartels and the Vietcong made liberal use of car bombs to kill specific enemies and to sow chaos and fear. |
|
| During Sihanouk's long stay in France, the incidents between the Cambodian population and Vietcong troops multiplied in Cambodia. |
|
|
|
| Despite massive US military and economic aid, his corrupt administration failed to win the fight against the Vietcong and North Vietnamese forces. |
|
| The Vietcong had popular support and were supplied by great powers. |
|
| But there were reports during the Vietnam War there were some Americans who had deserted and were seen fighting with the Vietcong or North Vietnamese. |
|
| As Vietcong in their thousands sought sanctuary from American firepower in the jungles of eastern Cambodia, he let them stay and in 1970 his generals, with American backing, organised a putsch against him. |
|
| The Phoenix Program began small: we were going to hire South Vietnamese agents and police officials to tell us who in each village was a pro-Communist or Vietcong official. |
|
| The following day, he and An were driving around the city again, this time counting the bodies of the Vietcong soldiers who had died in the attack. |
|
| I can remember being in Vietnam watching Melvin Laird, Secretary of Defense, flying over me as we went down to do some completely staged 'invasion' because the original invasion place had too many Vietcong. |
|
| When an American patrol passed, the Vietcong would spring out, shooting. |
|
| At the same moment that commemorates the 1975 entry of the Vietcong resistance and their North Vietnamese allies into Saigon, catastrophically evacuated by American soldiers, that war continues to kill. |
|
| As had often occurred for their historic ancestors, for the North Vietnamese and the Vietcong, stalemate meant victory as they only had to outwait the enemy. |
