The US claimed
Yeah, the other side "claimed" wild enemy losses too. You should really know the problems with the Vietnam bodycount by now.
Just admit that you can't find any real battle where the US lost.
That's especially funny since just read about an example of the battle that the Americans lost (and could be been literally all slaughtered but by some miracle that the survivors couldn't explain it just ended before this could happen) but was presented at the time as a ("real") battle won in American propaganda.
"Spin doctors" doing the "spinning", as to quote.
actual battles
There were barely any "actual battles" between forces larger than battalions and regiments due to how this war was fought. Great most engagements for regular GIs involved being fired on by unseen snipers and stepping on mines and traps planted by peasants, and only rarely they could face "the best infantry in the world" (VC Main Force in particular, but also "the NVA are all hardcore" as the song goes) in a unit of any size.
But actually even in Ukraine, where it's a large conventional war, they fight with battalions on both sides. They don't go whole brigades, not to mention divisions, wholesale in contact. Even in Mariupol it was only elements.
