Topic: Vietnam War, lost or not.

I'm noticing a lot of attention put into a thread that has a pretty obvious answer: Yes the US lost cuz you bloody well can't claim victory when you give up. No the military didn't lose the war, it was hippies and politics back home that lost Vietnam. While it was very impressive what the VC and NVA were able to throw together throughout the Vietnam War, its well known that they never won a major engagement. That's why they resorted to terrorism and extremely unorthodox tactics. We were lousy at dealing with those tactics on the whole, but learned more and more as time went on.
