A common misunderstanding in Turkey. US didn't lose the Vietnam War, South Vietnam did. US reached some of their goals and pulled out at a time when the war seemed endless. They've killed over a million North Vietnamese miliatants which is a tactical win in itself.
The ultimate goal was to test NATO war machine against the Warsaw pact equipment and succeeded. Most weapons we use today are built according to the teachings of Vietnam War.
US had more than 58000 casualties in vietnam war... you call that a win? Cuz I don't.
US and South vietnam were equally involved in the vietnam war against the North, defeat of the south means defeat of both.
