How did the role the American media played in the Vietnam War.
we didn't lose Vietnam. We simply left when President Nixon went into office. We trained the south Vietnam people to fend for themselves and slowly took troops out, then when the two Vietnam's called a peace treaty for the new year celebration Tet north Vietnam issued several attacks on South Vietnam. So the side we were helping lost but truthfully we did not lose.
Technically, Richard Nixon. Theoretically, Lyndon B.Johnson (or even posthumously J.F. Kennedy) as Vietnam was a Democrats' war.
They intervened in the war. They did not lose, instead, the public was against the conflict so they pulled out. They never surrendered, so they did not lose.
North Vietnam won the war.
No. World War 2 had 418,500 US Deaths. Vietnam had 58,217 US Deaths. and 155,359 Wounded/MIA (1,947 are MIA)
As he stated, he "...didn't want to be the first US president to lose a war..."
yes we did lose the war in Vietnam when we were helping the South Vietnamese Army. If we have permission to engage the enemy in a firefight, then we won't lose at all.
The Americans didn't lose. They were unfamiliar with the territory of Vietnam and were not properly prepared. The terrains of the jungles were nothing like the landscape in the US. It was just a matter of unfamiliarity.
