Even though, as we lost about 60,000 men and killed 2,500,000 of theirs, the left communist in the press and in our government have convinced some of us that we lost.

Where did this guy come up with that number? He must have been one of those guys that gave body count numbers to the press each week and we know how inflated they were. A more accurate count of North Vietnamese regular troops and Viet Cong killed during the war is about 600,000.

LBJ did a lot more lying to us then the press ever did during the war.

Your figure is woefully outdated. Since 1998 once secret documents from Vietnam have been released. It reveals that the U.S. DoD grossly underestimated the effect of air power in the war. It is correct that about 2.5 million enemy were killed in that conflict. It's not a mistake and is publicly available information. The 600'000 you quote was from Vietnam era estimates which we now know were wrong.
