Communist soldiers in South Vietnam were called?

South Vietnamese military personnel (ARVN's mostly) had to be very careful about hating their government. Getting "pinned with the label VC" was not to be taken lightly by ANYONE in South Vietnam.

Out and out NVA invasions supported by their T54 tanks occurred during the 1972 Easter invasions, and the final NVA assault occurred in '75...it was their TANKS that crashed thru the south's capital's gates in 1975...not their infantrymen!

How does the movie paltoon show opposition towards the Vietnam war?

Actually the film "Platoon" is a modified (Hollywooded up) biography of director Oliver Stone's experience in Vietnam; he served as an infantryman (grunt) with the 25th ID which is depicted in the film. Actor Charles Sheen is portraying Mr. Stone. Actor Johnny Depp who portrays Private Learner (a Vietnamese speaking grunt) is the platoon's translater. Depp's role had to be edited to the extreme, as his charactor was stealing Charlie Sheen's thunder in portions of the film.
