MOS:MIL gives voice to the template documentation in respect to populating the result parameter. The guidance is quite specific about what is permitted. Multiple dot points are not supported. This is also consistent with a more minimalist approach advocated by WP:INFOBOXPURPOSE. This is a terrible infobox that needs to be more focused. The misuse of the result parameter is just one issue.

... should be restricted to "X victory" or "See aftermath" .... The template documentation is similar. These explicit restrictions are not permissive of populating the parameter with multiple dot points. Cinderella157 ( talk) 04:34, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
Taiwan should be added to the combatants list in the Anti-Communist grouping. Taiwan sent air support to aid the South Vietnamese and Laotian and small number of troops to help train South Vietnamese soldiers and conduct reconnaissance operations and small raids on the NVA and VC. Taiwan also supplied South Vietnam with rice and machinery. There were at least 250 soldiers from Taiwan who served in The Vietnam War.
Francoist Spain should be added as Supported By under the Anti-Communists in the combatant lists. Franco sent a force of 100 doctors, nurses, and officers to Vietnam to provide medical aid to the American and South Vietnamese forces in Saigon. Pat J. McCarthy ( talk) 19:58, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

According to the department of defense the last 41 deaths of the Vietnam war are those personnel killed in the Mayaguez Incident ending May 15,1975. The last 41 names listed on the Vietnam war memorial are those military people. IT time to dump your phony end of war date of April 30, 1975 as it is wrong. 2600:1015:A026:2AD9:16AA:2EA4:F206:6A7E ( talk) 23:52, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
