Wasn't the fight mainly controlled by politicians

No.

, so if Vietnam won politically, that's all that matter.

It wasn't a tie. They won.

No.


Then my freaking history book was wrong in saying that the politicians controlled the American military tactics of the war, while the generals just followed.

It wasn't a tie. They won.


That's what I said/implied...

Also, even in a military sense, America lost. Why else would AMERICA form a cease-fire (quit)? Obviously not due to the will of the people... if it were that, then the war would have been shorter.

THE VIETNAM WAR- The war that Americans realize that their government is screwed.

Then my freaking history book was wrong in saying that the politicians controlled the American military tactics of the war, while the generals just followed.

Kennedy didn't trust his military advisors, so most of the time the politicians did have more input than the military. But the problem with the fight was not the politicians. It was the morale. I told you that already.

Also, even in a military sense, America lost. Why else would AMERICA form a cease-fire (quit)? Obviously not due to the will of the people... if it were that, then the war would have been shorter.

It was absolutely due to the will of the people. That, and the fact that they were losing on an economic front which I already said. The United States was hemorrhaging cash on a war halfway across the world that the citizens didn't support.
But the United States won in a military sense, in a big, big, big way. If you don't believe me, just look at the casualty reports.
