Re: Could We Have Won Vietnam?
Uhm, define winning? Winning as in killing more people than you lose? Winning as in carpet bombing the country until it looks like a desert?
In that case, yes, the US would've won. If that is your definition of winning then the attacking side usually wins.
However, you must compare the original goals of the war with the outcome of the war. IMHO, this is the only good definition of winning a war.
