We lost because we took sides in a Civil War on the other side of the world. Our purpose was to prop up a puppet regime. There was no military purpose, no other standing army to defeat, as in regular war. Since Napoleon, every Civil War has ended with the defeat of the occupier. JFK wanted us out of Nam.
