'Americans lost the Vietnam War because of the mistakes they made.' How far do the sources on this paper support this statement?

permission to attack Viet Cong units. For this to happen he sent many more US troops which meant to counter attack them more North Vietnamese troops were sent. Johnson’s idea was to get the least number of lives involved in Vietnam so he only sent small amounts of troops but he kept on sending small amounts, as he needed them there and eventually there were too many people there in Vietnam. Johnson himself felt that he kept himself with great restraint in sending people to Vietnam but once he sent people after some time he thought that it was not enough so he would send more and eventually he had too much people that which meant that he was really committed. Source C shows how America kept on adding troops, which got them more and more involved due to the escalation. The escalation was caused due to Johnson’s view of thinking but that is not shown in the source. The source also shows how upset the local people were at the US government and how they thought that what happened is Asia was none of their business. Source E talks about the US mistake of using napalm in villages and blasting villages without any warning if they were trying to win the local support. If they wanted support they shouldn’t kill the vegetation and deform the people because this would not make them give the US their support. This was a major mistake they made of not getting the local people in their confidence. This proved to be a major obstacle as they progressed through the war. Source H tells us that the television and radio coverage of the war played a bit part in their defeat. It tells us that the media showed all the events that were happening in a different way, which got all the local people to think differently and to think about how pointless it was fighting the war, as they weren’t achieving anything. Source I supports the statement as it shows anti-war demonstrations done by a student. It shows how people back home are upset about what the US government is doing. It talks about how the government was ignoring these demonstrations and calling them burns. This source shows how unpopular the war was in the US and how the local people disliked it. The government also ignored what happened as a consequence of their war.   Source F doesn’t support the statement. Source F talks about how the US troops were ordered to fire at anything they thought was a Vietnamese. This does not show anything, which would say that the American mistakes made them lose the war. They were made to take these precautions so that they would not lost any of their troops, which would on the other hand help them. Sources D, G and J suggest that it was not only the American mistake that made them lost the war. Source D is a poster that does not support the statement fully and says that it was not only the American mistakes that made them lost. This poster acknowledges the accomplishments of the US army. It shows us about their remarkable portrayal and how America was a destined nation to save the world without thinking about what happened to it. There are other things on the that show that it was America’s faults that caused their lose. At the bottom is says ‘price of admission: your son plus taxes’ which means to say the USA put too many of their people in the war and wasted a lot of money that they get from peoples taxes. Source G shows both sides to the statement. It talks about how the mistake of the US of have puppet allies in the areas caused them trouble and eventually got them to lose control of a big area. The other side that it shows is that it was not only the American fault for this attack. The Viet Cong thought out their whole plan really well, which caught the US troops. Source J talks about the mistakes but doesn’t say that there were other things that might have caused their lose. This source talks about how the USA government got committed in Vietnam by send half a million troops over and all these troops used inhuman weapons. It also talks about that there were would never me a peaceful end to this war, which would be without any weapons.
