It is true that our US armed forces did indeed kick arse in a heroic and honorable fashion in Vietnam.
Yes it is. NVA and VC casualties were basically twice as high as US casualties in almost every engagement. But you would never know that from watching the news broadcasts of that day.

The Tet Offensive is a prime example. The media painted a picture that this was the "turning point" of the war that "proved the war was unwinnable". The truth of the matter is that the Tet Offensive destroyed the Viet Cong as a combat effective formation and gutted every NVA formation that was committed to battle. It was nothing short of an unmitigated disaster for the Communists.

The casualty count on the commie side was more than twice... We never lost a battle and like Darth said, dominated the battlefield in all aspects. You can thank the politicians for that one. Sounds kind of familiar, eh?

Bc one of our boys was/is worth more than any number of them. I don't know what we won but whatever it was, wasn't worth the losses.

NVA and VC casualties
The NVA were the best and most fanatical enemy soldiers ever faced by US military forces.
Many would have good points about other enemy soldiers we've faced in history, but, I would argue that, at best, they were equals to the NVA/VC.
The Japanese soldier was also fanatical, but, I submit that the NVA/VC were more tactically proficient.
Those little NVA/VC bastards were some seriously good soldiers.
