Unable to stop (control) the flow of enemy men & material coming into South Vietnam; without widening the war into neighboring neutral countries, and risking a confrontation with the communist superpowers. Losing the support of their fellow countrymen at home.

For the men: Mud during the rainy season; waist deep mud 24/7 in the Mekong Delta; mosquitos 24/7; snakes and leeches alot (not quite 24/7); eating cold canned food (C rations) on a daily basis.
