What military challenges did American troops face while fighting in Vietnam?
What will be an ideal response?
Living and fighting in the swamps and jungles was difficult. The Vietminh used guerilla warfare, blending into the civilian population or hiding in underground tunnels, setting booby traps, and conducting surprise attacks. The American military tried to defeat Vietnamese guerillas by bombing enemy bases and destroying their village refuges, but these tactics resulted in many civilian casualties and turned the population against them.
