tbf, a lot of the Viet Cong were younger fellows who wouldn't have been WW2 vets.

But yeah, the Viet Cong were a serious org, not just a bunch of randos. Really fascinating organizational technologies they used to minimize material shortages, the sort of things an institution learns by... well, having veterans of some ~30 years of irregular warfare against occupation by several world powers.

“The US lost to a kickass military organization that just came out of a war” isn’t as funny, but it is cooler.
