I'm not sure if its good to say that buddism is the main religion. They have their own thing which is not really buddism or close.

about 40% of people in Vietnam have the last name Nguyen, so Tran probably makes up that 10% that isn't too common. I've met only one person with that last name

No. The People's Army of Viet Nam was the regular army from Hanoi. The Viet Cong were an organization with its own regular army as well as a vast network of irregulars, partisans, and guerillas that fought against the South Vietnamese government of Saigon and their foreign allies in South Vietnam and Cambodia. Most of the VC were from the the south but they also had help from the PAVN.

I think "Pho" is a kind of noodle soup, not just soup.

the peninsula one is a bit odd, ideally accept Southeast Asia, which is the more common term, but if not, at least "Indochinese" as in "Indochinese peninsula" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainland_Southeast_Asia

pho is more noodle than it is soup, even etymologically, would suggest that one be changed or broadened as well

I dont like that you use the term Viet Cong rather than NLF which is what they were actually called

The Viet Cong were actually northern forces, although I can't say for sure where they originated. All I know is the North fought the US, not the South

Can you accept broth for Pho? Or even noodles.

Soup is not quite used this way outside of the USA. I got the answer eventually, but a soup typically refers to a thicker vegetable meal, which may have a few ingredients served in it.
