The Vietcong used fear and insecurity to control the Vietnamese peasant population. According to the video, they would seize the hamlet chief and then they would cut his head off or shoot him in front of the villagers. They mined the roads so government civil servants, teachers, and agricultural advisors would not venture into the countryside. But video evidence also showed South Vietnamese government officials resorting to fear with the torturing of suspected Vietcong members by electrical shocks and hanging.

Taking that into consideration, and regardless of President Richard Nixon's claims to the contrary, the expansion of the war into Cambodia was probably, on balance, a failure.
