US military forces did win every battle fought in Vietnam...but micro management by politicians prolonged the war (by not allowing a military defeat of the NVA via an invasion of the North)...and virtual anarchy by the US populous demanding a withdrawal of US forces...brought a unsatisfactory end to the conflict.
