No, you lost the war. How many analogies can I make I wonder. The USA is like Rob Stark in GOT. You won battle after battle but you lost Winterfell and lost the war, and in the end, they won.
In that analogy, the teddy bear is the war victories. The girl is South Vietnam. So while the USA won the teddy bear because it had the most war victories, the vietcong took south vietnam.
If the USA had such little respect for human life, the cold war would have ended on a far different note that it did. The only problem would be that there wouldn't be anyone left to write it.
In the end, the North defeated the South, 2 years after The United States left.
This is reality, not an HBO mini-series. I'm sorry that reality doesn't match the propaganda you've been taught uour whole life, but there it is.
The Viet Cong didn't take anything. The VC ceased to exist in 1968, when Allied forces destroyed them.
