It doesn't matter how many battles you win, all that matters is if you win the war. Victory is not decided by how many enemies are killed versus how many casualties you suffer, but by who achieves the objectives of the war.Originally Posted by PanzerJager
US objective was to prevent the spread of communism by stopping North Vietnam conquering South Vietnam. North Vietnamese objective was to conquuer South Vietnam. North Vietnam conquered South Vietnam, despite the efforts of the hundreds of thousands of US troops stationed there. Therefore, North Vietnam won the war.
What you are saying Panzer is the same thing as saying that the Germans beat the Soviets in WWII, because 20 million Soviets died, while the Germans only lost a tenth of that.
I'm surprised that you are trying to claim that the Americans won the Vietnam war based on comparing casualties.
