Its not much like the Tet offensive.
Viet Cong and NVA had over 100,000 men in the initial attacks alone.
Counting the numbers involved there seems to have been fewer than a hundred men in yesterdays attacks, all in all.
Granted that these hundred are “disposable”.
Granted there were probably a couple of times more intelligence, logistics, recruitment and training people involved.
But still this is a trivial threat.
It is all about perception. I was in Vietnam during the Tet Offensive. I understand the difference in terms of scale, but most Americans are not informed or engaged. The MSM will shape their views. In this case, they will protect Obama and minimize whatever happened. It doesn’t fit their narrative.
