Tet offensive was a real-time victory against the push that turned into a loss for the US through manipulating public perception.
Victor-Charlie's most potent allies were in positions of political, media, and academic power in the United States. All those who served/drafted had no chance at victory.

When the sudden attacks came, the U.S. Military was caught completely by surprise. The enemy attacks swept foward, causing wide spread consternation and in some places panic.
The infiltrating attackers caused widespread havoc. The widespread offensive collapsed due to the astonishing bravery of the American soldiers and the triumphant arrival of General George Patton’s armored forces. Got you didn’t I?
If Cronkite had been around to announce,”This war is LOST”, we’d be speaking German today.
