Okay, I really recommend you pick up a history book on the Vietnam war. Vietnam wasn’t some tiny puny country, it had the backing of the com...st Nations.
Secondly, no other war comes close to the kind of war Vietnam was. But the closest thing would have to be Battle of Isandlwana - but the outcome of the war resulted in British victory, so not the same as the US.
TLDR US won the war, but Congress couldn’t keep the victory.
First and foremost, war is always nasty. Then you combine that with a culture that doesn’t want to be involved in Vietnam, as well as one that has journalists hell bent on writing a story (for whatever reason) and you suddenly have the perception that the USA was getting annhilated in Vietnam.
The Vietnam war was the first time the US got a taste of modern gurreilla warfare. (Russia had theirs in Afghanistan, and they were badly bloodied too).
So let’s look at the numbers.
The US, Australia, South Korea, New Zealand, Thailand Taiwan and Phillipines, had approximately 64,000 military dead. Wounded on the other hand brushes close to 318,000 (though 150,000 did not require hospital care).
South Vietnam, suffered 220,357–313,000 military dead. These guys did most of the dying on the Coalition side. Thus bringing up our military dead total between 284,000–377,311
On the com...st side, they suffered over 849,018 military dead. Kind of hard to say that the Allied side lost the war when they suffered around a third of the military deaths.
Of course war isn’t just decided by body counts, there were other factors at play here. Most people don’t like to admit it, but the Vietnam War was won in Vietnam, but lost in American homes and I’ll tell you what I mean by that.
The Allies where helping ARVN fight a defensive war against the North. The desired outcome was for South Vietnam to become it’s own country like South Korea. Unfortunately, com...st propaganda can sway just about most people, educated or uneducated.
So instead of fighting the convention NVA, the Allies were also fighting guerrilla Viet Cong. This resulted in horrific collateral damage, which fuelled the anti-war movement back in the States.
Democrat politicians in the US began to campaign against the war, taking part in anti-war rallies and the like.
Meanwhile, the Allies wanted to get the North back to the negotiating table again, so the US did what any superpower would do. Bomb them into submission.
After awhile, the North agreed to come to the peace talks as long as the bombing campaign was halted.
When the negotiations were done, the North agreed to stay on their side of the border and not to invade. US withdrew its forces, but promised to keep the South supplied with military hardware. This was seen as a victory for the US.
Unfortunately, the following year, we had the Watergate Scandal, a few months later the democrats won a landslide in Congress. Many of those members used this majority to essentially break the promise of military aid through defunding it.
Gerarld R Ford begged congress to allow the US to supplies, but most of them walked out on the address. Why? Because it would look bad for any democratic politician to be even seen supporting the war in anyway shape or form because they were the ones at the anti-war rally.
The North with the backing of other Soviet Nations broke the treaty, to test American resolve. They took one village after another and no military response from the US came. Soon it was cities, and then finally provinces.
In short, the US didn’t lose because of the com...sts, but lost because of the Democrat majority of the 94th Congress.

好吧，我真的建議你拿一本關(guān)于越南戰(zhàn)爭的歷史書好好看看，越南不是什么弱小國家，它有GC主義國家的支持。
其次，沒有任何一場戰(zhàn)爭能與越南戰(zhàn)爭相比較，但是最接近的是伊散德爾瓦納戰(zhàn)役——但是戰(zhàn)爭的結(jié)果是英國的勝利，所以和美國不一樣。
另外，美國贏得了戰(zhàn)爭，但國會無法保持勝利。
首先，也是最重要的，戰(zhàn)爭總是令人討厭的。
再加上一種不想卷入越南戰(zhàn)爭的文化，以及一種讓記者拼命寫報道的文化( 無論出于什么原因 ) ，你會突然覺得美國在越南戰(zhàn)爭中失勢了。
越南戰(zhàn)爭是美國第一次嘗到現(xiàn)代游擊戰(zhàn)爭的滋味。 ( 俄羅斯在阿富汗也有他們的軍隊，而且他們也血流成河)
讓我們來看看這些數(shù)字。
美國、澳大利亞、韓國、新西蘭、泰國、臺灣和菲律賓大約有64000名軍人死亡， 另外，受傷人數(shù)接近318000(盡管150,000人不需要醫(yī)院護理)。
南越死亡220,357-313,000人，這些家伙占了聯(lián)軍死傷的絕大部分， 因此，我們軍隊的死亡人數(shù)在284,000-377,311人之間。
越共方面，他們遭受了超過849,018名軍人的死亡，很難說在遭受了三分之一的軍事傷亡后聯(lián)軍輸?shù)袅诉@場戰(zhàn)爭。
當(dāng)然，戰(zhàn)爭不僅僅是由死亡人數(shù)決定的，還有其他因素在起作用。
大多數(shù)人不愿意承認(rèn)，但是越南戰(zhàn)爭是：在越南戰(zhàn)場贏了，但在美國國內(nèi)輸了，我會告訴你我的意思。
聯(lián)軍在那里幫助南越軍打一場對抗北方的防御戰(zhàn)爭，期望的結(jié)果是南越成為像韓國一樣，建立自己的國家，不幸的是，GC主義的宣傳可以左右大多數(shù)受過教育或沒受過教育的人。
聯(lián)軍不是和傳統(tǒng)的正規(guī)軍作戰(zhàn)，而是和越共游擊隊作戰(zhàn)，這導(dǎo)致了可怕的附帶損害，助長了美國的反戰(zhàn)運動。
美國民主黨政客開始反戰(zhàn)，參加反戰(zhàn)集會等活動。
與此同時，聯(lián)軍希望讓北越重返談判桌，所以美國做了任何超級大國都會做的事情：轟炸他們讓他們屈服。
過了一段時間，北越同意參加和平談判——只要停止轟炸行動。
談判結(jié)束后，北越同意留在邊界，不再入侵，美國撤出了軍隊，但承諾繼續(xù)向南越提供軍事裝備，這被視為美國的勝利。
不幸的是，第二年，我們發(fā)生了了水門事件，幾個月后，民主黨在國會贏得了壓倒性的勝利。
其中許多成員利用這一多數(shù)，取消了軍事援助資金，實質(zhì)上違背了軍事援助的承諾。
杰拉爾德福特懇求國會允許美國提供補給，但他們中的大多數(shù)人都選擇無視。
為什么？ 因為任何一個民主政治家被看到以任何形式支持戰(zhàn)爭，都會顯得很糟糕，因為他們參加了反戰(zhàn)集會。
北方在其他蘇維埃國家的支持下破壞了該條約，以考驗美國的決心，他們占領(lǐng)了一個又一個村莊，美國沒有給予任何軍事回應(yīng)，占領(lǐng)范圍很快就變成了城市，然后是省份。
簡而言之，美國失敗不是因為越共，而是因為民主黨在第94屆國會中占多數(shù)。

Originally Answered: Has any big powerful country in the whole wide world ever lost a war against a tiny weak country as badly as the USA in Vietnam?
Your question is either bating or very ignorant of the Vietnam War. You''''re implying that "tiny weak" Vietnam, defeated or rather, badly defeated the US. That is a total falsehood. The US was not defeated in Vietnam. South Vietnam fell after the US forces departed Vietnam. The North Vietnamese were never able to militarily defeat the US. This is why they agreed to the Paris Peace Accords. This is why they agreed or had to agree, that the US be able to resupply bullet for bullet, any and all military hardware and arms, needed by South Vietnam.
Unfortunately for South Vietnam, a new, Democratic controlled Congress was voted in and later refused to fund the provisions of the Paris Peace Accords...most importantly, funding for military armaments that was promised to South Vietnam. You can watch the news reels of then President Ford, practically begging Congress for funding for the arms that were promised.
If the US was "badly defeated" in Vietnam, then why would the North Vietnamese cautiously invade the South in ''''75, carefully watching if the US returned to save the South? If that occurred, the North would have turned around and they admit this. If the US, who left South Vietnam in 1973 was defeated in 1975, then it was a ghost military and figment of someone''''s imagination.
The "victorious" Vietnamese want very badly, to be a friend of the US, to help protect them from the growing military power of China. So who are we kidding? The French were militarily defeated in Vietnam. The US was militarily defeated in Washington DC. There''''s a big difference and sorry if I offend some people, but I really don''''t care. If the US went into full mobilization and threw all its power into the Vietnam War, that war would have ended in a month. It''''s the same situation for the USSR in Afghanistan. Do you really believe the Soviets were defeated in Afghanistan? If that country went into its WWII frenzy and threw everything it had at Afghanistan, the country would have been devoid of life and the remaining horses would have mutated into mules with two heads.

你問這樣的問題，要么是很無知，要么是對越南戰(zhàn)爭一無所知。你在暗示，“弱小的”越南打敗了美國，或者更確切地說，是打慘了美國，這完全是謊言。
美國并沒有在越南戰(zhàn)敗，美軍撤離越南后，南越陷落，北越從未在軍事上打敗過美國，這就是為什么他們同意1973年越美巴黎協(xié)定的原因，他們不得不同意，美國能夠為南越補任何和所有南越需要的軍事裝備和武器。
對南越來說不幸的是，民主黨控制的國會通過了一個新的投票，后來拒絕按照1973年越美巴黎協(xié)定的條款資助南越， 最重要的是，承諾給南越的軍事裝備資金，你可以看到當(dāng)時的福特總統(tǒng)的新聞錄像，他幾乎是在乞求國會為他承諾的武器提供資金。
如果美國在越南被“ 嚴(yán)重打敗” ，那么為什么北越會在1975年小心翼翼地侵略南方，仔細(xì)觀察美國是否會回來拯救南方？ 如果真是這樣，北越就會轉(zhuǎn)過身來，承認(rèn)這一點， 如果說1973年離開南越的美國在1975年被擊敗，那么它就是一支幽靈軍隊，是某些人憑空想象出來的。
“勝利的”越南人非?？释蔀槊绹呐笥眩瑤椭麄兊钟袊找嬖鲩L的軍事力量。
所以我們有騙誰？ 是法國人在越南軍事上被打敗了，美國在華盛頓特區(qū)“被打敗”， 這里邊有很大的區(qū)別，如果我冒犯了一些人，我很抱歉，但我真的不在乎。
如果美國全面動員起來，把它所有的力量都投入到越南戰(zhàn)爭中，那場戰(zhàn)爭將在一個月內(nèi)結(jié)束。
蘇聯(lián)在阿富汗的情況也是如此，你真的相信蘇聯(lián)在阿富汗戰(zhàn)敗了嗎？ 如果蘇聯(lián)進入二戰(zhàn)的狂暴狀態(tài)，把它所有的資源都扔到阿富汗，這個國家早掛了，渣渣都不剩。

Why yes, multiple countries have.
Let’s talk about the first Italian-Ethiopian war. Starting in 1893, it’s incredible how Ethiopia retained their independence during the Scramble for Africa. Against all odds, an African nation was able to fight off technologically superior European powers, specifically the Italians. The Ethiopians, in this first war, were supported by the Russian Empire, with both nations being Orthodox Christian nations, though supplying them training, advisors, and weapons. With these, they managed to fight of the Italians and retain their Independence. During the Scramble for Africa, they were the most major nation to do so.
In the case of the Ethiopians, I think their achievement of retaining independence during this scenario is even greater an achievement. They were fighting European colonial powers with technology greater than theirs, with only support from Russia, who was at the time still a backwards and not industrialized country.
Known as Abyssinia at the time, Ethiopia was the first major nation to retain their independence in an age of European colonialism in Africa, which was a major achievement. Unfortunately, Ethiopia was occupied by Italy later during WW2, but upon the Axis losing WW2, the Ethiopians retained their independence.

為什么這么問？
是，有很多這樣的國家。
我們來談?wù)劦谝淮我獯罄?埃塞俄比亞戰(zhàn)爭。
從1893年開始，埃塞俄比亞在瓜分非洲期間保持了獨立，令人難以置信，盡管困難重重，一個非洲國家還是戰(zhàn)勝了技術(shù)上占優(yōu)勢的歐洲強國，特別是意大利。
在第一次戰(zhàn)爭中，埃塞俄比亞人得到了俄羅斯帝國的支持，兩個國家都是東正教基督教國家，為他們提供訓(xùn)練、顧問和武器，有了這些，他們設(shè)法與意大利人作戰(zhàn)，并保持了他們的獨立性， 在瓜分非洲時期，他們是這樣做的最主要的國家。
就埃塞俄比亞人而言，我認(rèn)為他們在這種情況下保持獨立是一項巨大的成就，他們與比他們技術(shù)更先進的歐洲殖民勢力作戰(zhàn)，只有俄羅斯的支持，當(dāng)時俄羅斯還是一個落后的非工業(yè)化國家。
埃塞俄比亞在當(dāng)時被稱為阿比西尼亞，是非洲歐洲殖民主義時代第一個保持獨立的主要國家，這是一項重大成就。 不幸的是，埃塞俄比亞后來在第二次世界大戰(zhàn)期間被意大利占領(lǐng)，第二次世界大戰(zhàn)軸心國失敗后，埃塞俄比亞人保持了獨立。

You question is baiting and faulty in its premise. No, we didn’t lose. We simply opted not to win. There is a difference. We got the North Viet Namese government to sign the Paris Peace Accords. They agreed to leave South Viet Nam, and we left South Viet Nam. Game over.
But if you were to ask “Has there been any other example where a large, powerful has been stymied, or bogged down by a smaller, less power nation?” then yes. You nay have heard of it. Afghanistan.
We’ve been stuck in that quagmire of a backwoods country since 2001 and there’s no real sign of getting out yet. But before that, there was another country that did the same thing, and it was one of reasons that caused its down fall - the Soviet unx.
The Soviets got involved in what was basically a dirty civil war in Afghanistan that lasted nine years. Like the US in Viet Nam, they were soon looking at endless body counts, a war they could not afford, and no exit strategy. It proved to be a huge mistake. But they were not the first European power to learn that the hard way. There was the British.
While the British occupied Afghanistan from 1839 to 1919, they learned the hard way and quickly not to meddle too closely in its internal affairs or even to try and dictate too strongly how to run things. It was during the First Anglo-Afghan War, or as its also known, The Disaster in Afghanistan. It was infamous in the British lose of 4,500 British and Indian soldiers, plus 12,000 of their families by Afghan tribesman. It was not until they were certain that it was not a threat to what is now Pakistan that the British let it go.

你的問題在其前提下是有誘導(dǎo)性和錯誤的。
不，我們沒有輸，我們只是選擇了不贏，這是有區(qū)別的，我們與北越政府簽署了1973年越美巴黎協(xié)定，他們同意離開南越，我們離開了南越，游戲結(jié)束。
但是如果你問“有沒有其他的例子，一個強大的國家被一個弱小的國家所阻礙，或者陷入困境? ” 那么，是的，有，你應(yīng)該聽說過，阿富汗。
自2001年以來，我們一直陷在這個偏遠(yuǎn)的泥潭中，而且還沒有真正的跡象表明我們要走出這個泥潭。
但在此之前，還有另一個國家——蘇聯(lián)，也做了同樣的事情，這也是導(dǎo)致蘇聯(lián)解體的原因之一。
蘇聯(lián)卷入了一場持續(xù)了九年的阿富汗骯臟內(nèi)戰(zhàn)，就像在越南的美國一樣，他們很快就開始關(guān)注無休止的死亡人數(shù)，一場他們承擔(dān)不起的戰(zhàn)爭，以及沒有退出的戰(zhàn)略，事實證明這是一個巨大的錯誤，但他們并不是第一個認(rèn)識到這一點的歐洲強國，還有英國人。
英國人從1839年到1919年占領(lǐng)阿富汗的時候，他們明白了這是一條艱難的道路，那就是不要過于干涉阿富汗的內(nèi)政，甚至不要過于強烈地要求管理事務(wù)，第一次英阿戰(zhàn)爭戰(zhàn)爭時期，或者也就是眾所周知的阿富汗災(zāi)難時期，英軍在這場戰(zhàn)爭中損失了4500名英國和印度士兵，另外12000名士兵的家人被阿富汗部落殺害，臭名昭著， 直到他們確定它不會對現(xiàn)在的巴基斯坦構(gòu)成威脅，英國才放手。

Except of course for the ideological one when those who want the war wont pay for it, be it actual cost or the consequences - clergy and the crusades for example, the following is explains much about offensive wars:
1) War is a numbers game: How many men do I loose to achive my obxtive. If it is not worth it, or cannot afford it. it wont happen.
2) War is economics: How will I pay for it? If the loot, short term, or exploitation, long term, doesn''''t pay for it, it wont happen.
3) War is geopolitical: Can I afford not to occupy an area, or to loose it respectively? Do I better have control over this [strategic] location or my commerce (peace time), or strategy (war time) is in trouble?
4) War is propaganda: Unless one can rally up a country for war, and even more so, those who do the dirty work and “bleed,” nothing happens. No lies, no propaganda, no war.
What can a little country do to defend itself? Keep the cost above what the agressor can afford. In the case of Vietnam: Hold out to wear them down. This always works for 1), 2), and 3) of the above. In case of3), the smart thing is to look for a "how do I loose the least" agreement.
Can anyone give a list of wars the US fought to defend itself? Or even better, a war that wasn''''t fought for economic interests not any differently from the European colonialists fought their wars outside Europe?
Some commented: We won! Sorry, wrong! Kennedy said it rather well, old enough to remember this from one of his speaches about the cold war: They will go bankrupt before we do. All the colonial empires eventually bankrupted themselves, US no exception, and only only differs in that it hasn''''t fallen yet.
Back to the topic:
Q: Why did the US go to war in Vietnam?
A: It had nothing to do with Com...ism, but everything about colonialism, 3).
Q: Why did the US loose?
A: Mostly 2), what vietnamese understood, and 4), what happened in the US.
Q: Shouldn''''t the US have won by criteria 1)?
A: Absolutely so. But it there was no Pearl Harbour, and 4), propaganda, wore out. However, 2) should also have been a factor but Smedley D. Butler book, War is a Racket, explains it rather well.

顯然，除了那些意識形態(tài)戰(zhàn)爭，那些想要戰(zhàn)爭的人不會為戰(zhàn)爭付出代價，不管是實際的代價還是后果——例如，神圣十字軍東征。
以下是關(guān)于進攻性戰(zhàn)爭的多種解釋：
1、戰(zhàn)爭是一場數(shù)字游戲：為了實現(xiàn)目標(biāo)，我會損失多少人， 如果它不值得，或者承擔(dān)不起，就不會發(fā)生。
2、戰(zhàn)爭就是經(jīng)濟：我如何為戰(zhàn)爭買單？ 是短期的掠奪，或是長期的剝削？沒人買單，它就不會發(fā)生。
3、戰(zhàn)爭是地緣政治：我能承受不占據(jù)一個區(qū)域的代價嗎，或者失去它的代價嗎？ 我是更好地控制這個(戰(zhàn)略) 位置，還是讓我的商業(yè)( 和平時期) 或戰(zhàn)略( 戰(zhàn)爭時期) 陷入困境？
4、戰(zhàn)爭是宣傳：除非一個國家能夠團結(jié)起來，尤其是把那些干臟活、“流血”的人團結(jié)起來，否則什么都不會發(fā)生，沒有謊言，沒有宣傳，就沒有戰(zhàn)爭。
一個小國能做些什么來保護自己呢？ 讓入侵成本高于侵略者所能承受的水平。
放在越南這個例子中就是：堅持到底，消耗他們。
這對于上面的1、2和3總是有效的，在這種情況下，聰明的做法是尋找達成一個“怎樣才能減少損失”的協(xié)議。
有誰能列出美國為自衛(wèi)而打過的戰(zhàn)爭嗎？或者一場不是為了經(jīng)濟利益而戰(zhàn)的戰(zhàn)爭？這樣的戰(zhàn)爭與歐洲殖民者在歐洲之外進行的戰(zhàn)爭有任何不同？
有人評論說：我們贏了！ 對不起，錯了！
肯尼迪說得很好，年紀(jì)大一點的人應(yīng)該記住他關(guān)于冷戰(zhàn)的一段話：他們會在我們之前破產(chǎn)。
所有的殖民帝國最終都破產(chǎn)了，美國也不例外，唯一不同的是它還沒有垮臺。
回到主題：
問：為什么美國要在越南開戰(zhàn)？
答：與殖民主義有關(guān)。
問: 為什么美國輸了？
答: 基本就是第2種解釋的情況，越南人理解的很到位，以及第4種：在美國發(fā)生的事情。
問：按照標(biāo)準(zhǔn)1，美國不是應(yīng)該贏嗎？
答：絕對是這樣。 但是那里沒有珍珠港，宣傳已經(jīng)過時了。 然而，第2個解釋也應(yīng)該是一個因素，斯梅德利·D·巴特勒的《War is a Racket》（《戰(zhàn)爭是一場騙局》）很好地解釋了這一點。

The USA lost the Vietnam War. However, the American military barely suffered a scratch in its total ability.
Its not that the USA couldn''''t have won militarily but rather that the Anericans have some ethical restraint as to how much damage they want to inflict on a civilian population to achieve a goal. Fortunately this ''''restraint'''' now permeates international conflicts.
Having said this, powerful countries can escalate a conflict if threatened. A weak country is not going to defeat the American, Chinese, Russian , Israeli, British, etc. military…they can only stop or hinder certain goals in specific limited conflicts. Nuclear tipped missiles with precision delivery systems are always the ace that can be played.

Technically, it was the USA, Australia, and South Vietnam + misc. vs the Soviet unx, China, and North Vietnam + misc.
It also was not really a civil war in the traditional sense, but merely a proxy for the Cold War.
So… pretty much everything about your premise is incorrect. Your question does not make sense due to this fact. Not sure how to proceed.
Do you want other examples of proxy wars or do you want actual examples of David vs Goliath?

嚴(yán)格來說，是美國、澳大利亞+南越+其它 vs 蘇聯(lián)、中國+北越的戰(zhàn)爭。
它也不是傳統(tǒng)意義上的內(nèi)戰(zhàn)，是冷戰(zhàn)期間的代理人戰(zhàn)爭。

I take issue with the concept that Vietnam was (or is) a tiny, weak country. This is a profound misunderstanding. Vietnam dates its national identity from the successful resistance to Chinese aggression over a thousand years ago. In the 20th century it defeated Japan, France and the USA - although in all three cases not because it was a full scale war between any of them and it. {It was a sideshow, not involving a majority of forces].
Tiny weak countries occasionally do beat large ones. Perhaps the most consistent is Switzerland. Apart from winning wars as such, it demonstrated the ability to deter wars (e.g. WWI and WWII) by being PREPARED to render invasion too expensive to be worth undertaking. Of course, it does have the advantage of mountains. But equally, in my view, is its universal military service. Everyone (not disabled) is in the militia from 18 to 54. Everyone has a rifle and 20 rounds at home. A platoon can form up in minutes - they all live on the same street. Buildings have built in demolition charge points. And so on.

我不同意越南曾經(jīng)(或現(xiàn)在) 是一個弱小國家的觀點，這是一個深刻的誤解。
越南的國家認(rèn)同源于一千多年前對中國oo的成功抵抗，在20世紀(jì)，它擊敗了日本、法國和美國——盡管這三個國家都不是因為它們之間爆發(fā)了全面戰(zhàn)爭。 （只是一個小插曲，不涉及全面對抗）
弱小的國家偶爾也會擊敗大國，也許最能穩(wěn)定（發(fā)揮）的國家是瑞士。
除了打贏這樣的戰(zhàn)爭，它還展示了阻止戰(zhàn)爭( 例如第一次世界大戰(zhàn)和第二次世界大戰(zhàn)) 的能力，使得入侵的代價過于巨大而不值得承擔(dān)。
當(dāng)然，越南也確山地地形的優(yōu)勢，但在我看來，同樣重要的是其普遍的兵役制度， 從18歲到54歲，每個人(非殘疾人) 都是民兵， 每個人家里都有一支步槍和20發(fā)子彈，一個排可以在幾分鐘內(nèi)列隊待命——他們都住在同一條街上， 建筑物內(nèi)設(shè)有爆破裝藥點等等，諸如此類。

How did the USA get beat in Vietnam? We killed almost 2 million NVA soldiers forced them to a Peace Treaty in 1973 that they reneged on after our troop withdraw. Hanoi was left in ruins. If we had bombed the NVA supply trains in China it would have been over sooner.
The US Army has not lost a battle that I am aware of since Little Big Horn 1876.. You either bullshitting or not very informed

美國怎么就在越南被擊敗了？ 我們殺了近200萬北越軍士兵，迫使他們在1973年簽訂了一項和平條約，但在我們的部隊撤出后，他們違背了這項條約，河內(nèi)成了一片廢墟。
如果我們轟o了中國的北越補給列車，這一切會結(jié)束得更快。
自從1876年的小大角號戰(zhàn)役以來，美國軍隊從未輸過一場戰(zhàn)役。
你要么是在胡咧咧，要么就是腦子有點不靈光。

It’s kind of amazing people still insist we weren’t defeated militarily.
We didn’t win and we left. That’s called defeat.
Vietnam was neither tiny or weak. They’d taken the French down.
The real sad part is the American advisors from the OSS who fought with Ho Chi Minh against the Japanese in WWII recommended we side with him against the French.
If only we had taken that sound military advice.

令人驚訝的是，人們?nèi)匀粓猿终J(rèn)為我們沒有在軍事上被打敗。
我們沒有贏，我們離開了，這就是失敗。
越南既不小也不弱，他們打敗了法國。
真正可悲的是，美國戰(zhàn)略情報局的顧問們曾在二戰(zhàn)中與胡志明并肩對抗日本，他們建議我們與胡志明并肩對抗法國。
要是我們采納了那個明智的軍事建議就好了。
