Just as a side, that unmitigated disaster as you refer to LBII brought the North to their knees. They were out of stuff to throw into the air. We could have taken a cake walk into the north at that point, but Henry the K was worried about china or Russia getting in overtly.

It took the North two years to mount another offensive. That time, they got in pretty deep, but were repulsed with air power alone, as we were forbidden to get into the fray on the ground.

Killed so many, they had to wait another three years to grow enough people to try it one more time, this time without any US resistance, as we had pulled out 3 years earlier.Turning point? Oh yeah. Unmitigated disaster? Not so much.
