BS. I guess this guy never heard of the 1973 Treaty of Paris. At the least, Vietnam was a military victory and a political draw.

The Treaty of Paris was an instrument of surrender. The North Vietnamese Army was allowed to remain in South Vietnam, the U.S. withdrawn all of their ground troops and the logistic support allowed to the South Vietnamese was entirely insufficient to defend their country.

Surrender? BS. It was a truce. North VN troops were allowed to stay in place, but no new troops were allowed to move into the south.
The north, unable to do much with what they had in the south, eventually broke the treaty and invaded in 1975.
