That's not the point. The point is that the side that loses the greater numbers isn't a reliable indicator, in of itself, of who won or lost a conflict
The US failed it's stated objective. They failed to protect the South from the Communist north. The US lost the battle of wills, along with 60k+ souls against a bunch of fucking jungle bunny retards.
The VC didn't eject shit. If the US public continued to vote to support the war, you can bet your ass they'd have won it.
True but context is always needed.
The only battle that North Vietnamese/Viet Cong "won" was the Ia Drang, which was a stalemate. In literally every other major engagement, US and ARVN forces demolished the communists. This does not even count the number of communists rounded up and dealt with by RVNP. The communists waited the US out.
An ass kicking implies some kind of tactical defeat but at that point you're just splitting hairs I guess
Have you never read the Pentagon Papers? The war was unwinnable from the beginning. It would have taken an insane amount of money to keep and hold Vietnam which the US Government were never, at any point, willing to spend. This is before we even get into public opinion turning against the war.
Laos and Cambodia would like a word with you.
Two countries, one of which, if the US had not bombed the shit out of them, may not have been galvanised into supporting Pol Pot.
Because most Vietnam servicemen were volunteers, not draftees. People make a big stink about the draft for the war but the reality is that most draftees were placed into support roles because the military found out how bad of an idea it is to place draftees in combat arms in WWII
The United State military smashed the NVA every time we squared off, their most "successful" attack ended up utterly destroying the Viet Cong by the time it was finished. If we'd had the political will or desire we could have run heavy bombers, heavy cruisers, and battleships and reduced all of the North's costal cities to rubble. We left the ARVN in charge of the area and they managed to hold until '75 when Congress decided not to provide promised logistical support. At no point did the North Vietnamese ever actually kick America's ass. Now, China on the other hand, the NVA kicked their ass.
You said Domino Theory never happened. Laos and Cambodia were both taken over by communists after the US left Vietnam. The Laotian communists, the Pathet Lao, received significant support from the Vietnamese while the Chinese supported the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. Maybe read a book before you make retarded claims that can be debunked by an idiot like me.
I've searched my feelings and found you to be a tremendous faggot. I can safely dismiss everything you've ever said as not worth reading based solely on this single, shoehorned quote.
I want Lindsey Graham to have a heart attack and suffer brain damage in real life.
one of the first steps to actually making america great again would be trying all of these war mongering israeli double agents for treason.
I hate this fucking guy.
