Also, the Viet Minh was no less brutal than the Viet Cong. They were known to bury people alive, cut off hands, etc. Nah that's what the American and South Vietnamese do An excerpt from the book 'Vietnam - An Epic Tragedy' by the renowned historian and writer Max Hastings:

"The two sides competed in ruthlessness. The Vietminh executed village chiefs who declined to bow to their will, often by live burial before peasant audiences, after subjecting them to torture of medieval ingenuity.​​​​​​"

I don't want to start an argument or anything, but it isn't really a debatable fact that the Vietminh were just as cruel as their enemy in the early war.
