Why did fighting in Vietnam turn into a stalemate by the mid-1960s?

Unless the US "invaded" North Vietnam...or used the "bomb" (nuclear weapons)...the war was un-winnable. This was realized after the fighting began to escalate instead of de-escalate as the years went by.

How did continued fighting turn the tide of the civil war?

Every month that went by, the Confederates, recruiting from a much smaller population, were finding it harder to maintain their armies at fighting strength.

(Ironically, Hooker objected to his nickname 'Fighting Joe', which had been mistakenly written by a clerk, with the two words linked in error. At that time, an officer could be reprimanded for 'fighting' (meaning unruly punch-ups in barracks.)
