Answer 1

It's the French military who defeats in Vietnam against the US!

Answer 2

If you define a military defeat as surrendering to the enemy on the field of battle, I believe the United States troops during the Vietnam War did not lose one battle. The US troops were forced to fight a war in which the political leaders of the US attempted to restrict the actions of the military and did not heed the knowledge possessed by the military officers who probably knew how to engage the enemy better than the politicians. President Bush (the first one!) learned that lesson. When the first war against Iraq broke out, he allowed the military to handle the war situation.

Answer 3

The United States had its losses for South Indo China in the United States Congress. Even during Tet (1968) when the Viet Cong made a major attack with tens of thousands of troops the United States won the battle. However there were losses and they were associated with the French the most notable one was in 1954 and I vividly remember the news casts of it and this was Dien Bien Phu.

Dienbienphu or Dien Bien Phu, former French military base, North Vietnam, near the Laos border. It was the scene in 1954 of the last great battle between the French and the Viet Minh forces of Ho Chi Minh in Indochina. The French occupied the base by parachute drop in Nov., 1953; this move prevented a Viet Minh thrust into Laos and provided support for indigenous forces opposing the Viet Minh in that area. Although the base could be supplied only by air, the French military felt its position was tenable. Weary of inconclusive guerrilla warfare, they were willing to invite an open Viet Minh attack in an area where their superior weaponry could be used to full advantage. The Viet Minh army, under the command of Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap, chose to engage the French, and by Mar., 1954, some 49,500 Viet Minh troops had encircled Dienbienphu, where some 13,000 soldiers, under the leadership of Col. (later Gen.) Christian de Castries, were firmly entrenched in strong positions. The first Viet Minh assault came on Mar. 13, and by the end of April, despite massive French air bombardment, the French defense area had been reduced to 2 sq mi (5 sq km). Desperate pleas for U.S. intervention were unsuccessful, and on May 7, after a 56-day siege, the French positions fell. This defeat signaled the end of French power in Indochina.

If the United States military could have been allowed to do what had to be done, at least South Viet Nam and indigenous peoples such as the Montagnards could have been saved from the North invasion.

The point to keep in mind is whether we should have gotten involved in the first place. This decision to become involved began with President Eisenhower when he stopped the possible unification (North and South) vote in 1954 when it was believed that Ho Chi Men would win the election. He was an avowed communist who had been trained in both France and Russia and it was believed that if Indo China went Communist then all of the contiguous countries would follow.
