"America lost the war in Vietnam"

Whether you were for or against the war in Vietnam an incredible fact remains: The United States did not lose the war in Vietnam. There's an incredible number of people out there--many of them in our universities--who actually think this way--that we lost militarily. For the most part we had already removed ourselves military from South Vietnam by the time the North invaded, and we did not wish to re-involve ourselves. You could, however, say we lost the war politically.
