I doubt anyone would disagree with this statement:
"America lost in Vietnam and dropped napalm on children"

We won every battle, we killed millions of the NVA and VC. They killed tens of thousands of US troops. Technically we did not lose. We withdrew our troops in 1973 and Saigon fell in 1975. It was the South Vietnamese forces that were defeated when Saigon fell, not US forces.
It is true that it is called a loss, but this is because we allowed South Vietnam to fall to the North, not be because we got our asses kicked.
