What US soldiers went through in Viet Nam is not, and never should be taken into consideration as to why the US lost the war.  No reasonable person doubts their hardships.  The war was lost because the US troops had nothing to fight for, nothing to win.  The Vietnamese people did.  As in all wars since time began, it was another instance of one mass of poor people killing another mass of poor people so the rich could get richer.  LBJ and the American corporations got rich off of this war.  Nixon continued it.  Poor people on both sides fought it.  The rich just got richer.  The average American citizen gained not ONE DAMN THING!!!
