The Viet Nam conflict was not a war, it was a police action. Since there was no war, the US did not lose it.
Three reasons for the US being kicked out of Viet Nam:
1. The US troops did not see how this conflict had anything to do with protecting the US. As a result, they did not try to win as much as the native north Viet Namese.
2. The Secretary of Defense did not allow the air force, marines, navy, and army to fight properly, for instance, not allowing an attack until already being attacked.
3. The North Viet Namese were great guerrilla fighters. The US leaders thought that they could win the conflict with really big bombs, and big airplanes etc. Problem is, the North Viet Namese were never in large enough groups that bombs could kill more than a handful or two or them.
4. I had to add No 4 . . . the North Viet Namese were assisted by Russian ground crews and top-notch MiG fighters and pilots.
