Militarily we crushed north Vietnam. We should've leveled them when they broke the truce, but ultimately the south vietnamese didn't care who was in charge anyway, which is why they lost.

This. It wasn't their great savvy, it was their great apathy. Had the South given a crap, they would be in charge now. But, their corruption, disinterest and our own waffling thanks to commie disinformation lost the war.

Correct. Fun fact of irony: US bombed Hanoi 11 days Dec 18, 1972 – Dec 29, 1972. The North Vietnamese Commies were readying their white flags to surrender on the 12th day of bombings, but once they realized US stopped bombing on that faithful day, the order to surrender was recanted.

but ultimately the south vietnamese didn't care who was in charge anyway, which is why they lost.

Incorrect. Without effective counter-attack by South Vietnamese Army under US air support, Saigon and Hue would have been lost to Commies during Tet Offensive 1968. South Vietnam eventually fell in 1975 because traitorous Zionist Kissinger advised Nixon to shake hands with Commie China and stopped supplying South Vietnam starting in 1972
