As I`m sure you learned, Gen Giap, threw the entire Viet Cong force at our guys and, after some tough days, were destroyed. Giap thought he had lost the war until he saw the reaction of the US media. Then he knew he was going to win.

Yep, we kicked the crap out of them. Interestingly, I found some academic research done a few years after which detailed the media's reporting bias. It was an interesting read. The media hasn't changed much since those days.
