"After the turning point of the Tet offensive in 1968"

I was there for the Tet offensive and witnessed what a disaster it was for the North -- as verified after the war by Gen. Giap. Of course, the traitorous Cronkite reported it all as a major U.S. loss and, effectively, and simultaneously, started the serious growth of the American anti-war movement and convinced the North, which was very close to suing for peace before the Cronkite reports, that they could, in fact, win with the help of America's "enemies from within." (again verified by their Gen. Giap)

The American left can and will happily lead us to defeat at every opportunity. They hate this country and all it stands for every bit as much as do the Islamo-fascists.

Tet of 69 was just as devastating for the North as Tet 68.

What nobody knew at the time, was, the north was a biscuit short of suing for peace during nixon's Linbacker II (1972 Christmas Bombing), when all we wanted was to get 'em back to the peace table...which it did.

not sure what this guy is smokin....

Vietnam is just like this war, ONLY IN THAT the Patriotism and support of the war and warriors is most of America. They are the folks sitting in their homes supporting the war and the troops, and getting on with their day to day lives. While the media and libs are falling all over themselves with rhetoric and stupidity.

The liberals are being led around like cows to the slaughter house, and they are happy to oblige.

My older brother was in Vietnam at the time with the 101st Airborne. He told me that shortly after the enemy was crushed after Tet, he and thousands of other troops were stationed near the dmz waiting for the orders to invade the north that never came.
