Loooks like his Tet offensive was similar to that in '68. Back then, while it was a PR coup (with the willing help of the MSM), it was really a disaster. There were so many NVA wounded and killed that they lost control of their own war, and the Khmer Rouge (sp?) took over the leadership. Same here, where of 60 attackers, it seems 1 in 6 escaped whole!

Try it again, goat-boy. Allah's on your side, so you can't lose!

Close but no Kewpie doll.

It was the Viet Cong (VC) that "lost control" (actually they never had more than the illusion of control, the North Vietnamese were running the show from the get go) and of Course it was the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) that ran things openly from then on. The VC were pretty much destroyed as a fighting force by Tet '68.
