The statements that best describe the Vietcong are that They often distinguished themselves as civilians and that they were unwilling to take heavy casualties.

Explanation:

First of all, they weren't equipped better than the U. S. forces, they were underdeveloped forces that didn't have many resources. On the other side, the US military was a major power in the Era, as today and always.

They often distinguished themselves as civilians, this is a very important statement, because the Vietnam war was called the people's war. So, they really worked under these ideals. Even the name comes from Vietnam communists, a movement that looked for people's wellbeing according to their ideology.

They were unwilling to take heavy casualties. Vietcong forces were less prepared than US military in the means of number and armament, however, they were in familiar land and learned fast from American strategies. They couldn't take big hits, because their army was more vulnerable and they didn't the resources to fight a high escalation battle. That is why they fought guerrilla squads hits.

They were willing to fight a long war. It is wrong because the more the Americans settled, the more the equipment arrived, the more the Americans found support and the budget increased. Vietcong was weakening, the resources would cease eventually and they would not get many from their own. They had to receive support from foreigners to keep fighting. They had to strike fast and hard or their country would suffer.
