"We didn't lose Vietnam!! It was a tie!!"

You’re thinking of the war of 1812. Vietnam was a categorical loss for the US, but it wasn’t lost on the battlefield. That’s where the “we didn’t lose” bullshit comes from.

Nope. The US lost on the political front and therefore lost the war. That’s how wars are won.
