There were TWO hot battles of the cold war. Korea and Vietnam. Korea was a peninsula and easily isolated by the US Navy. Vietnam was NOT a peninsula and could not be isolated from communist re-supply of men and material: Unless; the war was enlarged to include other countries (Laos and Cambodia); and if the US was willing to risk a confrontation with one or more of the Communist Superpowers (Soviets or Red China). Red China had entered the Korean War against the US/Allies because the US/Allies had invaded North Korea. The US did NOT want a repeat of the Korean War. Therefore, we had to end it; by leaving.
That objective was held off (delayed) until the communists finally won the war on 30 April '75; consequently, the US political and military objectives failed on that date.
America fought to prevent communists from taking over Vietnam. they failed, and communists took over vietnam. Then the communists decided not to be communist anymore but shop at Mcdonalds and wal-mart instead. Did america lose the vietnam war? It depends on whether you look short term or long term
The Vietnam War is often seen as a conflict that ended in a stalemate for the United States, which failed to achieve its objectives of preventing the spread of communism in Vietnam. However, North Vietnam emerged victorious, leading to the reunification of Vietnam under communist control in 1975. While the U.S. withdrew without achieving its goals, the war had significant consequences for both Vietnam and the U.S., highlighting the complexities of military engagement and the limits of power. Ultimately, the war's legacy continues to shape perceptions of military intervention and foreign policy.
The US fought that war to stop communist aggression; which it failed to do.
The US was an ally of South Vietnam; it was up to South Vietnam to repel the invasion from the north, with massive military assistance from the US (which, of course, ultimately failed).

The US was trying to preserve the Republic of South Vietnam; an effort that failed.
Preserve the Republic of South Vietnam from a communist take over. Which failed. then we pulled out of there.

The outcome of the war was the that invasion of South Vietnam by North Vietnam succeeded, and the US failed to prevent the unification of Vietnam into a single, communist country, which it has remained to this day.

by dieing basically: there's no real objectives that can be failed in it
The mission system failed primarily due to its inability to adapt to the changing social and economic realities of Indigenous communities. Additionally, the approach often disregarded Native cultural practices and autonomy, leading to resistance and conflict. This resulted in a lack of genuine engagement and ultimately undermined the system's objectives.
Those that failed to escape were "re-educated".

Because in the eyes of the world, the US knew it failed in Vietnam. After being victorious in WWII and then Korea, Vietnam shook up the confidence level somewhat.
