How did the Vietnamese war war?

They didn't win, North Vietnam won after the U.S pulled most of our ground troops out. The U.S. launched a few bombing campaigns (Linebacker I and Linebacker II), but eventually South Vietnam lost too much ground to the North and South Vietnam lost the war. Saigon (capital of South Vietnam) fell to communist forces on April 30, 1975. Most U.S. forces had pulled-out of South Vietnam by early 1973. When the north invaded, the south's officers fled, leaving their troops without leaders.
