    Did that not happen in battle?

    No. It happened in the US.

    What point are you even trying to make, “If it wasn’t for those pussies in Washington America would have won!”?

    No. I’m trying to clarify historical facts.

    Does it have to be a football game with refs for you to count it as a legitimate win?

    I said they won several times. You’re getting tiring

      No. It happened in the US.

      Except for Kent State where they killed their own people, what Vietnam deaths happened in The US?

      If killing the enemy on the battlefield causes your enemy to lose the will to fight, in what world is that not defeating an opponent militarily?

        Has nothing to do with stacking bodies…

        The Vietnam war ended because the people of the US forced it to end, not for anything the Vietnamese did. People demonstrating constantly forced politicians to end the war.

          You really don’t want to hand Vietnam the win, huh?

          WHO inflicted those “unacceptable losses” that caused the American public to want to pull out?

          What difference does it make how a losing army loses a war if that losing army lost?

            I lived the time. If you have to feel like an Afghan taxi driver, that you defeated the great satan,have at it. Because reality doesn’t matter to you.

              What are you even talking about?

              Who mentioned a great Satan?
              I just said getting shot so bad you quit counts as “losing on the battlefield”.
              No matter how you want to rationalize away at “America never lost a war”, they did.

              They were defeated.
              It happens.
