See "The Fog Of War". In that film defence chief McNamara admits that the entire justification for the Vietnam War was dishonest, the entire plan to win was unrealistic and we didn't even know who are real enemies were. In fact, our #1 enemy turned out to be ourselves, that is those at the top who got us into the war and made so many callous and flawed decisions.

When you occupy a country and blow up its people by the tends of thousands you do not make yourselves welcome. As a result, most of the Vietnamesese people wanted us out of there, hated us and were willing to die to kill us. Not just the North Vietnamese, but most of them outside the inner circle of the South Vietnamese government. In fact Saiagon was just as filled with terrorist bombings as Baghdad is now.
