The body count numbers may be called "winning." The invaders killed 2 million Vietnamese and the patriotic forces "only" killed 56,000 or so. So he can call those battle statistics "wins." But the people of Vietnam never stopped fighting for their freedom, and they won the war.

Public opinion changed in the US because over time enough sane people realized that the attempt to brutalize the Vietnamese people into submission would never work. The fact that most people in the US eventually opposed continuing the pointless slaughter was because they realized it would never lead to the successful imposition of a puppet regime in Vietnam.

The change in public opinion was just a result of increasing recognition of that reality.
