It's pretty well known that as long as American Troops were in South Vietnam, then South Vietnam was going to survive and stay independent.
North Vietnam, China, Soviet Union, and the Viet Cong knew this. But the question, how long would the Viet Cong keep fighting?
They were getting aid from North Vietnam, China, and the Soviet Union though the Ho Chi Minh trail.
My old art teacher, a vet once said "As long as the communist nations were giving aid, and we kept our troops there, we would STILL be fighting the war."
Let's say the United States decides to keep ground troops in South Vietnam, just enough to prop them up and to prevent South Vietnam from being over run.
How long would the war last? How long does the Viet Cong keep getting aid? How long is the fighting? Could it last until the 21st century?
Would the U.S need to keep troops there forever like in Korea, and could the nations ever unite. Maybe after 1991 breakup of the Soviet Union?
