US didnt lost in vietnam in military aspect. On January 1968 the North send the Bulk of its troops to attack 100 cities in the south. By the end of the city battles 37,000 Vietcong were killed while only 2,500 American soldiers were killed. The north should have lost the war if the US countered attacked but with the growing public demand to stop the war(in the US, due to the video footage of Vietcong soldiers[dead ones] inside the US embasy). The US government pulled the plug, and withdrawn US troops in Vietnam.
