“And the West would have saved the southern half of Viet Nam had it not been for a certain group of Donks in the 1970s.”

One of the really sordid and sad chapters in our history. The Tet Offensive wrecked the N Vietnamese armed forces but Walter Cronkite announced that the offensive was a failure. The Demos jumped on that statement and ran with it until we did lose. They had nothing left. Nothing.

Cronkite was a mess.

Amen brother..I have always placed Cronkite even
lower than Jane Fonda.

Remember hearing the B52 strikes from near the DMZ in `71.

We would sit on the steps of the hooches in awe.

They knew all they had to do was hold out for victory.
