We lost the war the same as the French - in Paris. The politicos ran the war, not the military. If the US carried the ground war north, it would have been over in a short time. We could have cut the north in half just above Vin (town). The students didn't start their protests until the (leftist) Professors in the Colleges and Universities started preaching their political views. Also remember, that we won our war; the VC were eliminated as a military threat way before TET. It is when the NVA main force arrived that things started going down hill. Anyway, we won the war, Communism is dead (except in the US).
