Detailed explanation-1: -Vietnam’s subtropical climate, terrain and fauna also took their toll on American troops. The heat, humidity, monsoonal rain and groundwater meant uniformed GIs were almost constantly drenched with water or sweat.
Detailed explanation-2: -They won the hearts and minds of the South Vietnamese people by living in their villages and helping them with their everyday lives. Their tunnel systems, booby-traps and jungle cover meant they were difficult to defeat and hard to find.
Detailed explanation-3: -Vietnam’s northern terrain is mostly mountainous or hilly, with some highland areas covered by a thick green blanket of jungle (about half the total land area). The Red River Delta and coastal plains in the lowland part of the North are heavily populated and intensively cultivated (almost entirely by rice fields).
