The Japanese had their ass kicked all the way back to their homeland by US forces. Because it was estimated that the US could take up to 1,000,000 casualties to invade the homeland and could take several times that number of Japanese casualties and for other reasons as well President Truman decided to use the Atom Bomb, not once but twice to demonstate that we had more than the one bomb. This brought the Japanese to agree to an unconditional surrender.
The Korean conflict was not a war but was a political conflict and its goal was to hold the 38th parallel which separated the North and South Korea and this political goal was accomplished.
The Vietnam conflict was not a war but was a political conflict and the political goal was to hold South Vietnam which was done but at the cost of the American people taking to the streets by the millions demanding the withdrawal of our military forces from the conflict. The politicians completed the withdrawal of our forces in 1973. In 1975 the South Vietnamese forces fell to the North Vietnamese forces. The loss of the political goal being reached in Vietnam was a political loss for our politicians and a loss by the South Vietnamese military forces not a loss by US military forces.
That is what the world knows and that is what Americans know. Not the ignorant ass conclusions your uneducated peasant ass has made.
