But thats the whole point. There are many ways to win a war and many ways to lose it. Winning militarily doesn't necessarily mean you've won the war.

If i'm playing a game of golf vs tiger woods.  He has a 500 stroke lead going into the final hole... then gets distracted by a woman and gets a +600 on the last hole...

Did I beat Tiger Woods ass?  Or did Tiger Woods beat himself.  Was Tiger Woods in an unwinnable match vs me?

I'm not saying the US won the war.  I'm saying they very eaisly could have won the war... and any defeat wasn't vietnam inflicted but inflicted by the country itself.

Refight that war in 1000 divergent histories... and chances are... the US wins most of them.
