{UAH} How did the USA lose the Vietnam War?

According to General Giap the Vietnamese military leader the US lost mainly because of one thing. They let their people go home after a year of duty.

As soon as an American soldier became competent and experienced he was sent home and replaced by an inexperienced man. Not only that, they really only got 9 months good service out of a man, because for the the first few weeks he was learning the ropes and in the last months he was hiding from danger

General Giap said if the Americans had told their people that they were going to stay in country until they either won, or they were dead, there was not much the Viet Kong could have done to win.

I am not an expert on this, but I remember seeing him in an extensive interview and that is what he said. He was a most impressive man, very knowledgable and very humble. As he looked in the interview.
