The American Revolution was fought for independence from Britain. The French Indochina War was fought for independence from France; aka 1st Indochina War. The American Vietnam War was fought against communism. Had nothing to do with independence. North Vietnam and South Vietnam were already independent nations.

The American Revolutionary War was actually an illegal war in which as Ben Franklin was supposed to have quoted as he signed the "Declaration of Independence"..."well at least we'll all hang together!" This war was a war against its owner (its own government)...Great Britain. It was a REVOLT, thus the name "Revolution...ary" war; a crime (thus the "hanging" as Ben probably said...if they would have lost).

The Viet War was a war between two existing and legal countries: North & South Vietnam. There was no revolt involved (unless you wish to discuss the 1st Indochina war aka the French Indochina War (1946-1954). That war may be closer to comparing with the American Revolutionary War; but certainly not the American Vietnam experience.
