Military wise is open to debate.
Politically the Vietnam war was lost, You had no popular support in Vietnam and the South Vietnamese government was seen as a puppet by the Vietnamese even in the south.
The Ho Chi Minh lead Vietnamese revolution was all stirred up by anti colonial sentiment in Vietnam who were sick of the french, The Vietnamese saw the U.S as just another foreign invader trying to reestablish colonial rule in Vietnam.
With the draft and the loss of life, War weariness grew with time in the U.S populous.
Rather then a complete loss, Why didn't they just secure the borderline between north and south, Have results like in Korea were the country is divided in two?
