I think I was taught more about how it negatively affected the country as opposed to whether they won or lost

I was taught that we "pulled troops out" of Vietnam. Which is a euphemism for losing.

We were told the facts. We were not given a plain "we won/we lost" answer, and frankly that's kinda how it was. We certainly didn't win, but we weren't "beaten". We pulled out because it didn't have the financial support and it was adding more turmoil at home during an already incendiary time.

Yeah, technically

But a lot of people try to make it out to be something that it's not.

We sent a fraction of our forces to do world police work with a proxy war and it didn't pan out the way we wanted to with the resources we were willing to shell out for it. We didn't "give it our all" and get bested in combat. We went "fuck it, you're not worth it."
