    Vietnam had a regular army, it wasn’t entirely a guerrilla force.

    Did they not teach that North Vietnam (and therefore the NVA) existed?

      Kind of. That’s not really reconciled with the l general impression that the US won every single battle, and couldn’t find any more enemies to fight, because the Vietnamese would run away and hide in the woods or among the locals and the US only lost the war at home.
