During the Vietnam War, the morale of the US soldiers was comparably lower than that of the Vietcong.

Many of the US troops were individuals who were drafted by the federal government in order to serve. With this in mind, many of these men did not believe in the cause and did not want to serve in the military in the first place. On the other hand, the Vietcong soldiers were completely invested in this fight. Their goal of spreading the power/influence of North Vietnam was something they were willing to fight for until they achieved victory. This is the big difference between these two groups of soldiers.
