But I still say, the US didn’t lose the war, South Vietnam did.
Vietnamization was never going to work.
Better to say there were no winners.
VC were wiped out. North Vietnamese took heavy losses except for the children of their political elite who were able to go study in Russia and avoid their draft.
LBJ's political career came to a screeching halt after his 64' landslide.
American losses were 1/10th of the Vietnamese. But American families only cared about the 1 that had been drafted just when he was getting his life started.
