The Fall of Saigon marked the end. That, and the amount of casualties resulting from the guerrilla warfare. One could argue semantics in many cases (Battle of Bunker Hill, Arab-Israel war). But at the end of the day, it's about who achieves their goal. Sorry man, every dog has its day, but Vietnam wasn't one of them. |
It is hard to pinpoint the victor in that war, but I would still side with the US as the victor solely based on the fact that while we were there, SV was maintained and that the Vietnamese casualties were so much greater than the US. Regardless, I still have conflicting feelings about who was in the wrong, because as much as I hate communism, I hate rigged elections. At least Vietnam has peace now, unlike Korea...
