it's not that complicated, my white friend
Americans just sucked
they were so obsessed with muh commies that they just sent thousand of young lads into the jungle to die
they were up against manlet vietnamese who knew the terrain, dug tunnels etc
not good conditions for largely German descended Americans

What objective wasn't accomplished? Every goal we had going into that was achieved above expectations. It was a roaring success.

Most experts recognize that if the US brought the war to North Vietnam they could have won it, but the politics and fear of Russian/Chinese rebuttal kept that from happening.

>tfw you will never shitpost watching live streams of the Christmas bombing campaign
>>
>>130412199
They had a high kills to deaths ratio and were bombing the shit out of anything they built
They stop bombing to relieve the media, and manage to relieve the north vietnamese even more
They bomb their bases in cambodia, media says they're making the war larger
They crush simultaneous surprise attacks in half the country, media says they shouldn't have happened in the first place

So many things that would have busted morale, instead crushed it

The North Vietnamese violated the peace treaties which they signed in Paris. The war was supposed to be over but then the NVA was all, "supplies" after the US pulled out almost all combat forces.

>>130412942
You are making the wrong assumption that the media is not part of America. America, with its culture, and part of it the media too, could not handle the war.
The vietnamese tactically lost, but strategically won during Tet.
The argument one could make is that despite the insuccess in Vietnam, strategically America won because it won the Cold War.
Bombing, ambushes, whatever tactical element has no value compared to a strategic loss.

The Democrats have always been children, throwing tantrums when they don't get their way (hurting everyone else in the process).

Wrong. (((America))) threw the war. Look at the ludicrous terms of engagement the troops were given.

Tet was a strategic failure.
>>
>>130412788

the political backlash was enough to completely envelope the complete ass fucking the US gave the gooks, and the media would completely ignore the massive success in favor of the little failures and causalities of war and make it front page news until something juicier came along. Keep in mind the only sources these people had were papers and T.V. so no rogue websites they could visit to sidestep fake news.

And that's why the Vietnam war is considered a failure.

>>130414856
A million chinks died in Korea and couldn't push into the south. That's as good as it could have been. The American "goal" was always defined as stopping communism spread not stomping the sources.
