The US ultimately lost the war when South Vietnam was overcome by the North side and became Communist, this loss was further worsened by the domino effect of nearby East-Asian countries. Laos and Cambodia become Communist as well. The US also lost a lot of political power due to the photos and media of the war in Vietnam. The US was very weakened on the political stage, and the "Television War" changed the US in a way that no war ever had. Finally, the war lessened the amount of trust in the President, and the government as a whole. Though this was a needed change, it lessened faith the people had in their nation, and that counts as a loss to all.
