To paraphrase what he said to the American general who said that they 
never beat the Americans on the battlefield, that is irrelevant. The 
fact is that they won. The whole conflict could have been avoided had 
there been a plebiscite on the reunification of Vietnam as per the 
Geneva Accord, but the US lost interest in the democratic process when 
they realized that the North would have won it. Instead, they 
backed a corrupt regime simple because it was anti communist, and they 
later backed a coup to remove the president. They pulled out of Vietnam 
knowing that the South Vietnamese government was corrupt and that they 
could never hold off the north.

They had their chance to beat the Viet Minh at Dien Bein Phu when the 
French requested air strikes against the enemy positions surrounding the 
French forces. Instead, they allowed the French to be defeated, and then 
ended up losing 60,000 of their own troops, and hundreds of thousands 
more wounded, and wasting billions of dollars...... and lost.  It is a 
recurring theme. Americans are on the winning side when they join their 
friends and allies in a noble cause, but when they go it alone in major 
conflicts they end up losing.
