How many know we won the Tet offensive?Despite what many radicals of the 60s think,people who were against continuing the war late in the war hated the protestors and the violence.The participants in the protests were not as big a factor as they think.Nobody I knew disparaged our soldiers.Thank God I don't know such people.

I knew one, once. He's buried under my pool in the backyard.

Just kidding...but you catch my sentiment.

The VietNam war was lost when Kennedy had Diem assassinated. That totally undercut our claims of being better than the Soviets or Chinese Communists and it made the South Vietnamese elite highly paranoid of our intentions and prone to fight each other rather than the enemy.
