And the war helped bankrupt the Soviet Union and lead to the collapse of it. You don't always measure winning a war in total casualties. Otherwise, America would have lost the Revolutionary War by your thinking.

That's a total fabrication. They moved out because the war was extremely unpopular in the country. It was taxing the country's resources and bankrupting them. The Geneva Accords was a way of saving face. There was no way the Soviet Union could maintain their presence there.
I understand that you have to toe the government line or face the consequences. I also know you don't exactly have a free press in your country. But you are going a tad far on the revisionist history.
