“I can’t wait to see how he handles the Tet Offensive.”
That will be the litmus test for me.

I cant wait to see how he handles the Tet Offensive.
I am sure the focus will be on the losses at Hue, Saigon, Khe Sanh etc. Ignoring the fact all of those battles counterattacks wholesale destroyed the TET offensive. I was with the Redcatchers for the Bien Hoa, Saigon-Cholon & Phu Tho racetrack take backs and the Redcatchers virtually wiped out the 275th VC Regiment. I doubt a lefty PBS documentary will show anything to dispel the Cronkite view of that day from their narrow viewpoints. The only usual Saigon TET news was just the embassy takeover, not the MP counterattack that took it back as example

Link is for just one unit, the Redcatchers. Now multiply their figures by the Gyrenes at Hue, other Grunt units all over the country as numerous counterattacks and defenses showed the NVA and VC the U.S. capability. A capability no liberal documentary will ever fully acknowledge, but will disparage gleefully.
