I think that we need to preface this, by stating that we had Vietnam won. We completely halted Viet Cong advancement, and begun withdrawing troops. We began handing control over to the South, under a bullet for bullet program, where we replaced every bullet, munition, and ordnance used. Then, Nixon was impeached. In the midterms, Democrats took power, and halted the program. Immediately, the Viet Cong began advancing, bit by bit, then lot by lot, until Saigon, and it was all over. So, while they did win out, in the end, it was more than a tactical guerilla victory.

Another mistake, that we made, that I believe the liberals would also make, was that we focused our efforts on taking out soldiers, instead of taking land. The Viet Cong certainly made it difficult, with their traps and tunnels, but they were dependent on unforced errors, on our part.
