The longest war in US history; the only war in which the US cause was lost to the enemy, in this case, the communists. In all past wars, the enemy has either been consumed (US Frontier Wars), or surrendered (US Civil War 1861, WW1, WW2), settled for peace (Revolutionary War 1776, War of 1812, Mexican War 1846, Spanish-American War 1898), or settled by a truce (Korean War 1951-Armistice). In the Vietnam War, NORTH Vietnamese Army tanks crashed through the US supported nation of South Vietnam; and parked them onto their front lawn, winning and ending the war on 30 April 1975.
