Given the understanding prevalent in the US High Command and Political circles of what the struggle was in Vietnam, YES, it was unwinable.
Vietnam was seen as a Communist invasion of sovereign South Vietnam. This was a fiction - in reality, what was going on was a Civil War. In addition, the US viewed it as a Conventional forces conflict, when it was primarily a conflict of infiltration and guerrilla tactics.
Given that "winning" the Vietnam War would have required a complete change of strategy and political realignment, not to mention completely overthrowing the existing South Vietnamese government and replacing it with something much more fair (and popular with the people), I can't see how it would have realistically been possible to win.
