Tet began Jan. 30, 1968. It resulted in the death of about 50,000 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops. The U.S. lost around 1,500 troops (KIA) and the South Vietnamese forces less than 3,000. North Vietnamese Gen. Giap tried to apply a strategy, used by Mao in China and Castro in Cuba, that predicted urban populations would revolt and turn against the South Vietnamese government when the NVA and VC attacked the cities. But most South Vietnamese had an opposite reaction and the offensive was a defeat for Giap. However, the U.S. news media immediately began to spin the Tet Offensive as a communist victory. Instead of exploiting the crippling losses suffered by the NVA President Lyndon Johnson threw in the towel. He suspended U.S. bombing of North Vietnamese logistics centers and the supply lines that would be used to slowly rebuild the NVA presence in the South.
The real “debacle” took place in 1975 when a cabal of Democrat traitors—including Church, McGovern, and Kennedy—led Congress in cutting all funding and U.S. military support to South Vietnam. After beating back two massive North Vietnamese offensives, the South was finally overrun by the North which was equipped and supplied by the Soviets. This led to systematic genocide and a huge refugee flood out of South Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.
Two Democrat presidents, a Democrat Congress, and their ignorant enablers in the news media, like Thomas, authored this debacle.
yhea, pretty much "sums" it all up.
