Technically, Khoi, the US was WINNING the Vietnam War. The only reason we ended up pulling out was because public support for the war in the US dropped to extremely low levels after the Tet Offensive, causing our military to lose the support it needed from the govt and the citizens. If there was no large-scale hippie/antiwar movement, it is very likely that the US would've ended up winning within five or so years at the most.
