The United States military considered Operation Starlite a success. A Viet Cong stronghold was reduced, a large number of enemy were killed, and US losses were limited. However as one US general noted, much of the Viet Cong force was able to retreat, did not lose any major weapons and were able to maintain the tactical advantage of surprise throughout the battle. In what would become a common refrain of the war, the US claimed victory, but the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese were able to fight another day.
