How were the Vietcong and the North Vietnamese able to frustrate the American military?
By their determination. They wouldn't give up...!
Why did the vietcong dress like civilians?
The Viet Cong were guerrilla forces. They were not a conventional military force like the North Vietnamese Army, therefore they wore civilian clothing. Plus, civilian clothing added an advantage as American and ARVN forces would not recognize them as combatants. The Viet Cong were guerrilla forces.

Who did the US of America fight in The Vietnam War?
The United States where fighting the North Vietnamese Army to deter communism in South Vietnam. The Chinese also were a part of the conflict however not so much as a direct entity as a funding source for the NVA.
Who was the Vietcong and what was their nickname?
Communists living in South Vietnam, not part of the regular NVA (North Vietnamese Army). VC over the radio, pronounced "Victor Charley"...the military phonetic alphabet (Alpha, Bravo, Charley, Delta, Echo, etc.).
How did the corruption of the South Vietnamese government undermine the us military in Vietnam?
At first, it seemed as though the Vietnam War was between North Vietnam and the U.S. with South Vietnam supporting them. In reality, the South Vietnam's Pro-Democratic government treated their people so badly, that they formed a secondary army, called the Vietcong or VC, and worked alongside the North Vietnamese to drive out the US forces. This was done so they could establish a Communist government because the new Capitalist government was not helping them.
