How moral are the Vietcong? (Games : C&C: Red Alert 3 : Mods : Red Alert 3 Paradox : Forum : Paradox Discussion : How moral are the Vietcong?) Locked

I wanted to ask this on the wiki itself (since I am signed up there and all) but it wouldn't let me log in, saying that each session had been hijacked or something.

So anyway...

I was wondering, where do Paradox's Vietcong stand on a moral scale? What would they do if, say, they captured some Allies and some ARVN soldiers hostage? Would they be the type to string them up from trees, and make them play Russian Roulette with each other for their amusement? Or would they be more likely to follow the Geneva Convention in soul if not letter, not treating them badly but making them do menial work such as farming (or fixing things, if they're captured an Engineer)?

Sketch has mentioned the Vietcong will be like the Soviets; bumbling do gooders on the wrong side of the war. So they'd probably make them do farm work, and then take a nap on a hammock because they got someone to do all their work, only to wake up and realize the Allied soldier ran away while he was asleep.

I think they will try to torture POWs and try to make them talk with rice whine, and the attempt to brain wash them POWs with puppet theatres...

such things

but that's only what I think :p

The Vietcong are in much the same moral position as the Confederates, except they have more legitimate grievances. Their homes were taken or destroyed, their country become a battleground for two different powers, and the side that is wifely thought of as the good guys is fighting against them. They're definitely in anti-villain territory - they are probably good guys, but they're on the wrong side.

In short, the Vietcong are likely to be either at or just slightly below the Confederates in terms of morality - a lighter shade of grey, in other words.

I don't think they're that good, actually. Remember, they're on the Soviet's side; regardless of how happy they are, or what's been done to them, they're willingly fighting to put their fellow human beings in a despotism. They're always going to be wrong, no matter what they do.

Misguided i think, they wanna do good, belive in their cause and are not flat out evil, but they still technically on the "wrong" side of the good/bad line
