Beating yourself is a valid way to lose a war. You can be your own worse enemy.

People cannot change what has already happened (yet anyway...). I'm not saying that I'm happy we lost the Vietnam war (my country was part of it as-well), and whilst there wasn't the domino effect like people thought there would be, if there was it probably would have affected Australia far more then the US since we're much closer to Vietnam.

Yeah, we lost vietnam.  That wasn't the issue at hand.  He said vietnam was unwinnable.  Which clearly wasn't the case.

Vietnam was actually incredibly winnable.  It was actually a bit of a fluke we didn't win.

If you win a war largely because they enemy beat themselves... chances are you were VERY lucky.
