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. In the beginning, the US thought that they could "kill them off" (the enemy) with the use of "good ole Yankee firepower"...after TET of '68, that plan was canned.

How lond did it take US troops to withdraw from Vietnam?
Nixon had been elected to begin withdrawing US troops from Vietnam and to turn over more of the fighting to the South Vietnam government. In 1972, North Vietnam finally realized that the war was a stalemate. The two sides met and arranged a cease fire. In January of 1973 the Paris Accords went into effect. The US agreed to withdraw all its troops from Vietnam in 60 days. Congress had stopped funding the war effort. The North Vietnamese government agreed to release all prisoners, which they never did. Free elections were to be held in Vietnam. The President of South Vietnam considered the agreement between North Vietnam and the US as a sell out. But it allowed President Nixon to save face and bring the soldiers home. By 1975, after US troops had been pulled out of South Vietnam, the ARVN (Army of the Republic of South Vietnam) collapsed and the North Vietnamese moved into Saigon, ending the war and finalizing the take over of the South by the North.
