No one won it.
The US acheived it's goal of making the South militarily self-sufficient, with the premise that the US would continue to supply war materiel as needed. Two years after the US combat troops left Vietnam, the South was defeated, mainly because the Democrat Congress in it's euphoria at having unseated Nixon naturally stabbed America's ally in the back.
The NORTH Vietnamese achieved their goal of enslaving those in the South as didn't manage to escape.
Those that have escaped that I've talked to say the Vietnamese lost the war. Since half the Vietnamese won, half lost, that adds up to zero.
The French haven't won a war since Austerlitz.
The Russians got what they wanted.
This question was brought up in another thread about Libya which I don't want to derail any further; but I find it interesting. It appears that many people have a different perspective and I find it funny. So please, cast your vote and if you are enclined explain your choice.
I have voted the Vietnamese. The goal of their war was to reunite Vietnam and it was achieved.
The Chinese got what they wanted.
The modern American Left won the Vietnam War; vanquishing the United States.
Then there are other theories...

:shrug: you could say that their allies (the north vietnamese and the chinese) won also; but they actually had to wage another - seperate - campaign, which i consider to be their victory.

Right, it was liberals and the media who "won" the war and vanquished the United States, not the fact that getting involved in Vietnam IN AND OF ITSELF was a terrible policy mistake and a strategic disaster to begin with. Blame the hippies, the druggies, the media, and the college students, not the McNamaras :roll:
I agree with this without sarcasm. It was the media. And it was america's decision to go without full support. BUT i think if America is in a war, we should never half-ass it. All-in or never go. The majority hippies/media/left lost the debate and the Vietnam action had a lot of support, and when the hippies were unsuccessful, they needed to just support america's decision and not just ruin america's war policy during the war causing more unneeded american deaths and total failure of a war.
I've seen this same agruement liberal people use against bitter conservative's on Obama. He's president, so we should recognize and support him, and not just purposely destroy america and him just because you don't like him to toss-in a candidate you like instead.
I would vote that the socialists in the U.S. won.
