According to the statistics the number of American troops inVietnam went down
every year, I saw no mention of the Paris peace talks In 1970. According to many people including the N Vietnamese they were willing to sign a truce due to the bombing of Hanoi. But John Kerry inserted himself with no authorization, he met
only with the communists and apparently convinced them to keep fighting .As a
result if you only count 1971 to 1975 3400 American Soldiers died due to Kerry.

The war was lost when LBJ gave his speech on 3/31/1968 announcing he was not going to run for re-election and that we needed to negotiate an end to this war. I was 14 years old and understood what this meant. The USA was not committed to winning the war. It had “cried uncle.” If a 14-year old could figure this out, then of course the North Vietnamese must have drawn the same conclusion and knew they only had to wait this out, if they did not believe that already.
