The reason we lost in Nam is the fact that the inhabitants were willing to die for the right to run their own country their own way.

I don't think we lost the war in SE Asia. The strategic goal of the Vietnam war was to prevent an imminent communist takeover of Thailand and the Phillipines, who were SEATO members. In that regard, we succeeded.

Those dominoes didn't fall.
