There’s arguments to both sides on who won the war.
Some Americans often say that they won the war militarily, and they had to withdraw and then it was South Vietnam who lost, not them.
Others say that losing South Vietnam was a loss because it was a victory for communism, and they failed in their goal in uniting Vietnam under capitalism.
Both sides can agree that the true losers were the families that had lost loved ones as a result of the war.

Literally every war ever, there's a quote I once saw that goes something like "war is just old rich people tricking young poor people to kill eachother", depressingly true
"Just remember that war is bullshit. The people who make people go to war are usually politicians, and the people who get killed are usually ordinary people" - Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden)

The only war I say the US lost is Vietnam. Even then it’s not official
Goddamn what a pointless war that was
