North Vietnam resisted because the two US presidents it faced never attempted more than a holding action in the South.
This President is using America's powers to strike at the heart of the Islamic Republic. The US only tried this once in Vietnam, during the 1972 Christians bombings and it was too late by then.
Not every US was is necessarily an imitation of Vietnam.
As mentions Kathleen Weber, since North Vietnam had so few resources compared to the US but was able to defeat the US, "... give us a call when Iran collapses..." !!
The pretence that US lost in North Vietnam because the it, its presidents did not use enough violence and destruction is grotesquely false. The country, including its villages, were nearly carpet bombed both with conventional ammunitions and napalm bombs. Nearly 10% of population of North vietnam was killed (2 million out of a population of 23 million). US defeat here has nothing to do with any qualms show by it.
Give us a call when Iran collapses. It seems to me that North Vietnam had far fewer resources and resisted the United States quite successfully.
Trump is waging a war in a different way, and with much better weapons. The Iranian population is also much less supportive of their government.

And Joseph Stolin was CiC.
Amazing insight in to conflict world doesn’t appreciate.
What a nice theoretical exposé...

Stay tuned. Trump will wrap this up soon.
