Same reason we / the Soviets lost in Afghanistan, you can't defeat a population-based insurgency without mass genocide which would undercut your overarching political aims. Nothing short of razing North Vietnam to the ground would've won us that war in hindsight.

The point of the war was to prevent Communist influence from expanding in the region though and nuking half of Vietnam would guarantee that both sides remained perma-radicalized against America for the foreseeable future. It would've played right into the Soviet's hands.

Nonsensical war goals, undefined tactical objectives, and the US just doesn’t have the stomach for long ears like that.

The official objective was a free and democratic™ Vietnam, but this was always something the Vietnamese people would have to decide they wanted. And to prevent the spread of communism under the domino theory, but given how Vietnam had been treated siding with the communist over the west was pretty much a default for Vietnam.
Tactically all we had was drop bombs and go out and kill Vietcong and NVA, point at the kill count, and declare victory. Hard strategic objectives didn’t exist or weren’t something the US could easily get to so dead gooks was the only real metric of success.m
And the us public just isn’t used to long grueling wars and getting to see what that looks like. Most wars the US had been in up to that point had been either quick, isolated from the general public, easy to justify, or some combination. The US doesn’t have the same history as a lot of the world where regional and occasional large scale conflict pop up every generation or mass suffering is the standard day to day. Or extremly limited involvement in World War One heavily scarred us to the point the majority of Americans had a “those European fags tricked us. I ain’t fighting their wars for them no more” mentality until Japan directly attacked us in 41

If the US actually continued pushing we would have eventually ground the NVA to dust and occupied the whole thing, but the will just wasn’t there to do it.

The same reason you ignore that vietnam today is what the US always wanted. Because you dont know anything about the war or much of anything else. The US didn't occupy the cities. ARVN did. Do you even know what the viet cong were? Ofc not. The reason the US rules the world right now is because its remarkably effective in achieving its political and strategic aims. Much more so than anyone else. Maybe instead of coping about a war from decades ago you look around you right now. Your area of the world is a total american victory tho I'm sure you naively believe the US lost wars there. Funny how the US loses wars yet always gets what it wants huh? Its almost like war is just of many tools for achieving political objectives and not an end unto itself.

We didn't lose. Its just that liberals made such a stink about the war at home, that America had to stop packing vietnamese fudge and come home.

I suggest you check the news instead of coping. The reason we gave up on south vietnam to begin with was that nixon's diplomatic rapprochement with china and pulling them away from the soviet camp, which north vietnam was tied to, negated the whole point of the war in the first place. Today vietnam is still opposed to china and is both a sweat shop for western multinationals and a new open market for the exports. America always win here.
