The only problem is the NVA had millions of more people to draw soldiers from. We could have won but it would have taken forever and at heavy cost.
Not as high as you think. After the Linebacker (I and II) raids, the NVA went to table for peace. Had we been able to do that earlier, the war would have been shortened.

It didn't matter. They could have signed anything they wanted with the US to get us out of there. They just needed to wait the US out.
Vietnam is a prime example of not knowing your enemy or understanding what kind of conflict you're getting into. The US saw it as part of the Cold War and containment. The North saw it as part of their ongoing struggle against the colonialists. They were never going to quit.
