Aactually the US did win Vietnam, but the south lost. The reason that this is so because Nixon wanted to only leave Vietnam in a victory (explains why it took us 2 and a half years), in order to do this Nixon made a strategic bombing campaign in North Vietnam. Eventually North Vietnam gave up and agreed in the Paris Peace Accords to leave the south alone similar to Korea but only in exchange for US to withdrawal, at this point the US was officially out of the unofficial war and avoided engagement. During their withdrawal, they started Vietnamization aka training southern troops to compensate for the US leaving (which explains why they took so long to leave) and only simply gave supplies afterwards.

Despite this, the North Vietnam broke the agreement and invaded the south once it managed to reorganized and regroup. The North invaded the south and it fell 2 years later in the fall of Saigon. The Us wasn't involved but it was only in assisting evacuation efforts and human health services.

And the Vietcong? Well they weren't much of a threat when they were crippled in the tet offensive, it was only then the invasion of the North had helped them set up their provisional government in the south
