Vietnam is a war that was lost at home, not in the jungles of Vietnam. Most engagements the US were involved in, they won. The US won the battles, but the NVA won the war. It was simply unpopular because the American People viewed it as a revolution between the North and the South. The US government viewed it as a war of containment regarding communism; this is following the McCarthy era.

Honestly, bud. I would prefer US troops. You pick the fight, It is your RP. Do you want all of us in one squad (difficult) to manage and always seems to fail, or would you prefer we all take on different roles in very different organizations? That would hinder collaboration, but enable folks to employ much more creativity in their writing.

That's true. 

Sort of the second, mostly because everyone in a single squad would make it sort of a Band of Brothers story, and I had the idea of playing both sides to feel the conflict from either perspectives of the war. As far as collaboration, you're really supposed to play who you pick. Americans act like Americans did, Vietnamese at like they did, if you're South Korean you're there for support, ect. This isn't going to be a "I can be a hero and save the day" story, so as far as collaboration issues there's not many things one can get wrong, unless they want to be an arse and totally mock history. (Which will be dealt with soon after for trying to ruin a historical RP where people fought and died for their perspective countries and ideals in history.) So, I was thinking of having limited freedom, as long as people play their roles.
