Says who and judging based upon what?
We lost in that we failed to secure Saigon?
We lost in that the American people were not behind the war at all?
What measure are you using?
If we are going on body count, which is generally what is used to decide who won or list, we absolutely destroyed them.
The ONLY reason Vietnam could be seen as a "loss" is because we had to leave. The VC and the NVA only drove us out of Saigon. They succeeded no place else. They did not beat us. Our own people beat us.
At least we can fight our own wars.
Do the British view the war of independence as a loss to them? I have heard you do not. But if it wasnt, wouldnt we be sucking Queen ass like the Canadians?
