Military history vs the news at 9...........
The Tet Offensive in 1968 was a massive military victory for those fighting the communist's.
Around 500 American troops died while upwards of 200,000 Cong and NVA were killed and the ability of the North to wage war was destroyed. The war was won in the spring of 1968.
After Tet Walter Cronkite spun a story that the war was unwinnable and the American population bought it and the rest is history.
