Actually in Vietnam we simply GAVE UP. IOW, We defeated ourselves. It was a loss of will, and the Democrats in control of Congress then made sure that happened.

Also, the fact that Walter Cronkite would spin a huge defeat for the Vietcongs in the Tet Offensive to a victory for them didn’t help either.

"We" as in political leadership, you bet. "We" as in our military establishment? They NEVER 'gave up'. And let's not forget the lack of will from Gerald Ford who confined his efforts to evacuating our people and as many refugees as could climb on board those choppers.

Nixon later said that he would have used tactical nukes to stop the North Vietnamese invasion and violation of those so-called 'Paris Peace Accords' to prevent the fall of the South.
