Riiiiiiight. 20 years at war, only to lose because of lack of effort.

Right. The Vietnam War was a defensive one: defending South Vietnam against North Vietnam and Viet Mihn insurrection. That's part of the reason why no US forces ever entered North Vietnam. As a matter of fact, common NV and VC tactics was to retreat into neutral and North Vietnamese territories where US forces were not allowed to follow.
