The Vietnamese Communists, or Vietcong, were the military branch of the National Liberation Front (NLF). Other needs were met inside South Vietnam. Main force Vietcong units were uniformed, full-time soldiers, and were used to launch large scale offensives over a wide area. Regional forces were also full-time, but operated only within their own districts. When necessary, small regional units would unite for large scale attacks. If enemy pressure became too great, they would break down into smaller units and scatter.Unlike the main troops, who saw themselves as professional soldiers, local Vietcong groups tended to be far less confident. For the most part, recruits were young teenagers, and while many were motivated by idealism, others had been pressured or shamed into joining. They also harbored real doubts about their ability to fight heavily armed and well-trained American soldiers.Initially, local guerrillas were given only a basic minimum of infantry training, but if they were recruited to a main force unit, they could receive up to a month of advanced instruction. Additionally, there were dozens of hidden centers all over South Vietnam for squad and platoon leader, weapons and radio training. To ensure that the guerrillas understood why they were fighting, all training courses included political instruction.

hram777 [196]

Answer:

If someone refused to answer questions asked by the House Un-American Activities Committee, he could be accused of being a communist.

Explanation:

The House Un-American Activities Committee was active between 1934 and 1975. This committee, whose activities accelerated especially in the 1950s, investigated many American artists and intellectuals. In 1969, the name of the Committee was changed to "House Committee on Internal Security", and in 1975 it was ceased.

Many prominent artists such as Albert Einstein, Hanns Eisler, Orson Welles and Jules Dassin were investigated, suspected on being communists, or even worse, Soviet spies.
