    Yes, but Vietnam won no battle I know of. The US lost the will to prosecute the war due to unacceptable losses and loss of support by the US population. I kind of doubt they won militarily over China either. Don’t know about France.

      The US failed to achieve all of its strategic objectives in the war while Vietnam achieved all of theirs.

      The US lost the war.

      Sounds like we sent soldiers over to die in a foreign nation over no real basis to do so and got our soldiers asses handed to them by farmers

        Correct. But with one exception and one addition. To call them farmers would be belittling them. They weren’t. Add the fact that conscription by the US was last used in this war.
