What was the Vietnam War like for foreign forces other than the US?

by Ivanator2294

This might be too general of a question, but I've always heard tons of stories about American and Vietnamese(North & South) forces in the Vietnam War. However, I hardly ever hear about other forces involved. Wikipedia lists South Korea, Thailand, Australia, and New Zealand as other forces directly involved alongside the US and South Vietnam. So I can't help but wonder what life was like for these other forces.

In particular I'm curious if Australian and New Zealander(?) forces were involved in any(or as many) atrocities like the US or if they simply had a vastly different experience all together. I've also heard some stories about how the Viet Cong feared Australian troops due to different strategies that they used.

On an operational level, I've written about the Australian (and to some extent, NZ) experience here.
