The Tet Offensive 1968: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy1CZrVsbSY
The Muslims are worse on the end/means issue. Obama, being both, and LGBTQ besides, is the absoulte worst.
And lets not forget the Fellow Travelers in the media: they were the ones who parrotted the line that Tet was a VC success, because it “showed that they had not been destroyed”....but forgot to mention that they were by the end of the battle.

They could not have done it without a willing and compliant press.
The CPUSA has been asking for it for a long time.
Soon, the worm will turn, and these evil scumbags are going to get housed.
Tet was a twofer for the North, the Southern VC were
annihilated thereby removing any political opposition
to Northern control once the war was over.
Thank you Walter...
Wasn’t it around that time that Walter Cronkite declared the Vietnam War was a lost cause?
And didn’t the media at the time report that the Tet offensive was an overwhelming North Vietnamese victory, even though it was not a military victory for them??? Which in turn greatly influenced public opinion in this country???
Thanks bro. It was a lively time.
I hope you are managing to stay warm up there in the mountains.
I seldom leave my hollow log except when absolutely necessary.
I’ll be like that until springtime.
Hasn’t been bad so far, going to need propane before it’s
spring though. Got a wood stove in the shop I could always
move into the house in emergency.
Hope you are doing ok.
t.
The one day every year when Walter Cronkite smiles in hell
We are all OK here.
I hope to retire in another year or so.
Don’t know what I will do with myself then.
Did I ever share pics of the restored old singer sewing machine
after you made the repairs on the broken treadle?
Let me know if you ever want to sell me that jeep.
You ever want to shut up somebody that knows nothing about Viet Nam yet everything at the same time and in particular TET get the book “This Time We Win” revisiting the TET offensive. By James S. Robbins. The Cong got slaughtered. It was a disaster for them but the American media were all in for the bad guys on this one and some of the false stuff they reported beyond treason. Some by incompetence and some on purpose but with the same effect.
Absolutely. Who can forget the "The War is Lost" Cronkite.
I was in 65 - 67 but not in country ... 17yrs old in Korea turned 18 for the first time with a Korean whore ... it WAS a different time
Radio teletype operator ...
God help us to remain strong in the fight for our nation ... enemies foreign and domestic ... help us, Oh God
I watched that video a few weeks back and intended to use it today. The mental bookmark and the link I saved disappeared. Much thanks.
Well, tet68 is the real deal and he did the real thing.
I was still trying to finish college in 1971 and
after my ping-pong ball got pulled from the goldfish bowl,
and in order to avoid being drafted and sent to the rice paddies,
I joined the Georgia National Guard and served there for 6 years.
You can just call me a “Dan Quayle”.
But tet68 has my utmost respect.
