The US media didn't help either. That war needed to be won before 1970.. a nice bomb would have helped.

I remember a book I read on Seal history a few years back, and one seal officer who remained unnamed, bemoaned the way that America fought the war.
As he stated the NVA and VietCong might have respected American Capabilites but they did not fear America.
He was a proponent of a footsteps strategy where North Vietnam and Cambodia shouldn't have been a safe haven for the enemies of America.
They should have sent in a ton of special operations groups, combined with mass bombing compaigns and made the North Vietnam government decided between carrying on the war or survival.
