You don't know your Vietnam history very well. NVA regulars made up the vast majority of the North's combatants, not Viet Cong. Most U.S. Casualties were the result of contact with NVA regulars.

The insurgents have no State sponsorship period. They probably get funding from islamic charities, but there is no comparison between the amount of money coming from charities and having two superpowers, China and the Soviet Union provided money, aircraft, armor and small arms and pilots to fly their aircraft.

The insurgents are backed by YOU every time you fill up

Do you bike everywhere? Do you walk everywhere? Do you grow your own food on a farm with your own seeds? Do you have a well that you pump by hand? Are squirrels turning the generator used to make the electricity to power your computer?

If the answer is no to only one of these questions, then you too depend and, in your words, back the insurgents.

The proper sentence YOU should have wrote was:

The insurgents are backed by US every time WE fill up
