However, Vietnam was just a battle in the greater war against communist domination. This battle contributed to weakening the greater enemy, who was ultimately defeated. I contend that we won the battles of Vietnam and we won the war against communism.

I agree 100% with this view. The Vietnam war helped bleed and weaken the USSR and Red China. Communism fell in Russia but unfortunately still clings to power in Red China thanks to capitalists for the most part. Gee, what would Marx think about that? Vietnam vet should be given credit for the defeat of communism, world-wide.
