Why was the Vietnam War unique?

Updated: 4/28/2022

The US Civil War (1861-1865) and the Vietnam War (1961-1975) are the only wars in which US citizens experienced a military defeat. In both wars the NORTH defeated the SOUTH. In both wars the Southerners/GI's fighting for South Vietnam were treated harshly (called and treated as "losers") by their fellow US Citizens. Even though the US Civil War was a victorious United States victory, the Confederates (Southerners) were still Americans. Secondly, the Vietnam War was our longest war, outlasting the American Revolutionary War by several years.
