Not lost so much as gave up.
We lost. Notice how Vietnam is communist? Notice how there was a "cleansing" shortly after we left. The image of the Huey leaving our embassy is not a give up moment.
They why can be debated but it was solidly a "L".

Well, yeah, that's true. But not in the sense that they beat us like we beat Germany and Japan.
We had no political will to carry on, therefore we quit and they won.
But yeah, we lost that one.

Wow a Democrat war started and then escalated by multiple Democrat presidents was a complete shite show with no clearly defined end game. Who would have guessed that?
Thank God Nixon got us out of there and more revisionist history that Vietnam was somehow Nixon's war.
The filth have been gas lighting us for decades.

That was actually an apartment complex down the street from our embassy where US workers lived. It’s a common misconception though.

If anything it as North Vietnam reneging on a deal. We signed Paris Peace Accords and left the country per the agreements. After we were gone is when the North violated the Accords and moved in. We didn't get beat. If we had stayed there is no way the North could have taken the South.
Hate it when people say we lost because that is not what happened.
