Well, even if Vietnam is not my speciality. (i really don't like it much) I do know a few things and those are that the Viet-Kong was not defeated in the fields. So, tactically, there were few victories and strategically, any objectives were reached. The only results of that war were 15.000 Americans killed and 3.000.000 Vietnamese...
