Charlie, Mister Charles, VC, Cong, Gooks, slopes. slants, and yangs,etc. Derogatory terms to be sure, with the exception of Mr. Charles for North Vietnames Army Regulars when they stood and fought. On those occasions he was deemed worthy not only of respect, but of honor.

American soldiers were partially trained in the Vietnam language before they left to fight, but most certainly did use a language dictionary while there. It didn't take them long to pick up some of the language fast because it kept them alive. Many American soldiers (depending on where they were stationed) could speak fluent Vietnamese.
it was difficult to know who the enemy was
Some people think that Benedict Arnold is important because he was a traitor in the American Revolutionary War. He was first a great general for the American soldiers but then things all of sudden changed and he went over to be a British Soldier because he thought that the American soldiers would lose against the British. But turns out that he was wrong about that because the American soldiers won the American Revolutionary War between American soldiers and British soldiers. ~Thank You~
