Did they not teach that North Vietnam (and therefore the NVA) existed?

Well, yes they did, but if one only pays attention in hollywood movies and not in school they wouldn’t know it.

Kind of. That’s not really reconciled with the a general impression that the US won every single battle, and couldn’t find any more enemies to fight, because the Vietnamese would run away and hide in the woods or among the locals and the US only lost the war at home.

When the real story of Vietnam is: we shot a bunch of Vietnamese people and then dropped our entire back stock of WWII-era bombs on them (and their neighbors) and then up and left and now they make our shoes for us.
