The US won the Tet offensive.

However, then, as now, that result did not fit the media narrative; so we were led to believe that it was a crushing defeat which, in turn, intensified calls for withdrawal and ensured that the whole of Viet Nam would go communist.

They threw everything they had into that attack and it failed. The general was going to surrender but then John fn Kerry the traitor gave him hope and knew if they could hold on that public opinion would change and they could win.
And that is why Kerry is in the Vietnam War museum with a plaque thanking him for helping win the war. So yes he was a war hero, he just doesn’t tell you who’s side.
