How would you best describe the vietcongs war strategy?
The Viet Cong's war strategy relied heavily on guerrilla tactics, utilizing ambushes, sabotage, and hit-and-run attacks to exploit their knowledge of the terrain and gain the element of surprise against more conventional military forces. They aimed to undermine the South Vietnamese government and U.S. military presence through a combination of psychological warfare and fostering local support. Additionally, the Viet Cong employed a network of tunnels and logistical supplies to sustain their operations while minimizing direct confrontation with superior enemy forces. Overall, their strategy focused on attrition and building popular support to achieve their political objectives.
What led to low morale in Vietnam soldiers?
The low morale of the soldiers was for the most part on account of the actual warfare. For many soldiers most of their time in Vietnam was mostly taken up by just walking around with little action to be found. Other problems were the frustration of being shot at by enemies that were absolutely no where to be found, mostly because of the Vietcongs familiarty of the landscape and their use of geurilla warfare. Another reason for their low morale was the feeling of not being backed by their country. Many soldiers knew of accounts of soldiers who came back to have strangers spit in their faces. Also many soldiers that were drafted to participate in the war were strongly against it so therefore they were likely to have low morale upon getting their draft statement. hope this was helpful

Why did Muhammad Ali refuse to go to the military?
Muhammad Ali was drafted in 1967, which meant he would have been inducted into the Army unless he enlisted in the Marine Corps, Navy, or Air Force prior to his induction date. He did not, and in fact declared "I don't have no quarrel with those VietCongs."
Body count for the Vietnam war in 1954-1975?
The Body Count began early in the Vietnam War 1965 - but it became senseless, because they count all killed people (also civilians after bomings). At the end of the 60ies the US Army stoped it and said, this is an inefficient way of calculating. At the beginning they wanted to count just all these killed vietcongs after the battle - but the GIs counted every killed person - South and North Vietnamese. Therefore it became senselss and they stoped the Body Count. But if you want to know more about it, ask Vietnam Vets. I am just from Austria - I am in the same age like your Vets and I got these informations from Vietnam Vets in the 70ies. They can tell you more about it.
