The communists waited and studied the US more intently, and worked on methods more conducive to their goals. They analysed the US's use of force and reasons for doing so; they studied the reasons the US lost the cause in Vietnam...and how to duplicate it. During the President Carter administation in the 70's, a Southwest Asian nation kidnapped US personnel, and held them for an extended period of time; this bold move was based on the assumption that the US was now a "paper tiger" because of Vietnam. Carter initiated the US Military Delta Force unit (amongst others) to rescue the hostages...it failed, after a loss of several more transport aircraft, and more men. Still under the watch-ful eyes of the world, the US failed again. The cold war was still on...but the US had to regain it's lost prestige; and the communist superpowers still remained as they were...a stand-off adversary. The US was "down" but NOT "out!"
The Cold War was only cold to the major powers in the World. The Developing World's flare ups became amplified by the ideological fight between Communists and Democracies. Vietnam's Civil War would have been a much smaller conflict if Soviets, Chinese, Americans, and the British Commonwealth had not involved themselves either militarily and/or financially.
Vietnam was a "hot" battle of the "cold war." Cold war means there are no battles, no fighting. Just threats. During the Cold War, the two major powers the Democratic United States and the Communist Soviet Union encouraged (forced) their ideologies in other countries, one of them was Vietnam. North Vietnam was Communist and was invading Democratic South Vietnam. America, like the amazing super hero she was and still is, came in to help defenseless South Vietnam. towards the end of the war, America tried to pull out of Vietnam slowly, and help equip South Vietnam with training and weapons. I haven't finished the unit readings in school, so i don't know how it ends (i don't think it ends well) but as soon as i do, I'll finish my answer ^.^
all of my problems are somehow Obama's fault. Just thought i should say that -_-
