The "success" of the Tet Offensive was a creation of the American media.

You got that right. General Giap wrote in his own book that the VC had been totally annihilated and that they NVA were on their knees ready to surrender. Then SeeBS and Walter Cronkite declare TET 68 a "great victory" for the Communists and started pumping out their videos of protests and riots in the streets of America by the Marxist "students." Giap wrote that if they could just hold on a little longer, Cronkite and the Leftist MSM "media" would get them their "victory."

We won't let that happen this time. Cronkite is senile and Rather is in disgrace. SeeBS is nothing but a "paid programming" channel. The "alternative" news media will get the truth out.
