For the standard (normal) GI in the field, the reputation of the VC was they would hit and run (not stand and fight/not hold their ground). Which was to the VC's benefit, as they were good at it. The one time they did "stand and fight" they were exterminated during the TET offensive of '68. From that date onward it was a war against the NVA (North Vietnamese Army)...and they, unless ordered otherwise, always stood their ground! Fighting the NVA was no picnic!
