Before 2005, in terms of building “people’s determination posture” in Vietnam, most of scientists focused on arrangement, placement and allocation of material factors, including human and equipment (physical strength) according to certain combat plans, rather than researching on arrangement and placement of political - mental factor (people’s determination), which is the absolute advantage of Vietnamese nation in history of thousand years of building and protecting Vietnamese country. In all times, the political - mental strength of the whole Vietnamese national unity is always highlighted and promoted. Since 2005, the terms of “people’s determination posture” and building “people’s determination posture” have been used widely in documents and literature in Vietnam. This means leaders of Vietnam are paying more attentions to “people’s determination” and to building “people’s determination posture” in order to mobilize, gather and promote activeness and creativeness of factors of “people’s determination”, of which the most important ones are patriotism, national pride, and trust of all people, to create solid foundation for building people’s defense posture and people’s security posture. This is not only attentions but also the requirement of developing theoretical thinking of the leaders of Vietnam in order to enhance strength for protecting Vietnamese Fatherland in the new context, to make national defense and security become a real “crucial and regular” task, of which political - mental strength is the very foundation. This is a matter of principle of inheriting and promoting tradition of fighting enemies and protecting Vietnamese country in the new era.
