Because of the action of the South’s president, the Communists met little if any resistance and took the country in about 3 months.

Sorry, not so. The North had gathered together a number of concentrated armored divisions. By that time, the U. S. military was forbidden to give the south Aid or supplies. If American airpower had been allowed to be brought in the entire armored force would have been wiped out in four hours and Hanoi would have been finished. As it was, there was no way the South could stand up to that force.

Your partially right. The South had it’s own Air Power. But look at the facts ONE lone tank crashed through the gates at the Presidential :Palace. In fact its still there as a monument. Truth is that there were Generals who wanted to fight, but the Communist President of the South lied to them and told them not to fight. The North met very little resistance on their way into Saigon.
P.S. Even though the communist have changed the name to Ho Chi Min city, most people still call it Saigon.

And this even included things as basic as ammunition for their guns,and fuel to run their trucks and tanks. The Dims in the US Congress are the ones that won the war from the North Vietnamese,not their counterparts in NVN.

"The North had gathered together a number of concentrated armored divisions."

That's a fact. PT's - amphibious tanks, if I remember rightly.
