Lost Patrol for the Amiga
My first thought was Apocalypse for the Amiga. Did not expect to see the Amiga mentioned already!
The old mid 2000's game 'Vietcong' is still, IMHO, the most realistic depiction of jungle combat conditions in the Vietnam war. It can oftentimes be a janky, seemingly overly hard game nowadays, but there's still nothing else quite like it all these years later.
The jungle is dense for that period, the AI is surprisingly tactically aware (at least from memory. They would ambush you, flank the player, and I think even run away if they were losing an engagement), there's deadly, well camouflaged traps everywhere, making slowly walking the safest way to move around, the fights are short and deadly, and most impressive of all, it licensed a lot of famous 60's songs from that era.
It can be a difficult game to get running on modern windows, but there might be some community patches for that. It would probably run better under Linux with wine.
If you're looking for a hardcore singleplayer experience to explore that conflict from a historical context, I'd recommend giving it a shot.
Battlefield Vietnam
I know it's old and an EA title but it has the best soundtrack outside of 1942 menu music.
Ya it really did, and flying the helicopters was truly a challenge, so when you got good at it + the sound track, it was epic
