You're saying that it was a political victory? The US was winning the war in absolute terms. It just lost the political will after the Tet Offensive of 1968...hence it was a political loss NOT a military one.
Vietnam lost over a million people and really was on the ropes until the US decided to scale down and phase out.

But having being there myself recently, just surviving the climate / culture shock / smell / disease is an achievement in itself - let alone fighting a war there
