the united states never lost a major battle in the vietnam war.

This is a misinterpretation of the nature of war, fostered by no less than the Pentagon. Wars are lost when one side says "enough", regardless if that party is winning or losing in the battlefield.

To be clear, each side has their own predetermined pain threshold and whoever pushes the enemy past it first, wins.

The Vietnamese generals knew that their people were determined to fight longer and harder than Americans and designed a strategy to that end. This was proper military strategy by the Vietnamese, even if they had 20 casualties for every American one.
