I dare you to make that statement to the hundreds of Montagnards that fought the VC at the side of our forces, and continued the fight long after Americans were pulled out of Vietnam. These jungle fighters would have spit in your eyes just before they slit your throat at the suggestion that they would even think of backing the North Vietnamese. They hated them with a fervor that had to be seen to be believed.
As far as the agricultural farmers, they only wanted one thing ... that was to be left alone. Most of these people did NOT willingly join VC forces ... they were forced at gunpoint to join or they and their families would be killed. I believe you could call that a very very good reason to fight for the North Vietnamese wouldn't you???
