Turning on the TV this morning I stopped on the History Channel. It was this

20th Century with Mike Wallace: Vietnam: A Soldier’s Diary

What a piece of shit that fucktard Mike Wallace is re-writing history again. The part of the show that I stopped on was talking about the Tet Offensive. The fucktards we saying that America lost that communist offensive. That Even though the Communists LOST a sound defeat. The Anti-Military History Channel (do they really Hate America?) is even selling this load of shit as facts. This is what some leftist collage kid wrote in order to sell this piece of shit.

Get a real idea of what it was like to fight in Vietnam. See how America’s shifting policy affected soldiers’ attitudes on the war and how that changed their daily lives.

VIETNAM: A SOLDIERS’ DIARY is an intimate portrait of a conflict doomed to failure told by the soldiers who did the fighting. These veterans talk candidly about what it was like day by day and what they did to survive Vietnam. They tell about how it felt to come home not to a hero’s welcome, but to shame, nightmares, and the memories of seeing their friends killed or wounded in the hell that was Vietnam. From the optimistic hopes of a quick victory in 1965 and 1966 to the every-man-for-himself disintegration of discipline and morale of the early ’70s, the course of the war and its aftermath is vividly recounted.

More than any other program, VIETNAM: A SOLDIERS’ DIARY captures the compelling stories of the men who fought in the misguided, mismanaged conflict.

So the History channel is also a leftist bile of shit! Well, I used to like this channel. But now I will only expose the lie that is the left!

The truth about the Tet offensive is that we won.

Yet in fact, Westmoreland was right, subsequent analysts have uniformly concluded. The Communist offensive was decisively repulsed. There was no general uprising in favor of the North. The South Vietnamese army did not buckle, though operating at 50% strength because of imprudent holiday leaves. The indigenous Viet Cong were destroyed, leaving the rest of the war to be conducted by troops recruited in the North.

“To have portrayed such a setback for one side as a defeat for the other–in a major crisis abroad–cannot be counted as a triumph for American journalism,” Peter Braestrup wrote in his book “Big Story.” He was Washington Post Saigon bureau chief during Tet, and his critique didn’t provoke serious controversy even within the press corps.

Tet was a military victory turned into a psychological defeat on the home front. Shall we do it again in Iraq?

Here is a book that really has a good examination of the communists press impact on the War.
Big Story: How the American Press and Television Reported and Interpreted the Crisis of Tet 1968 in Vietnam and Washington [ABRIDGED] (Paperback)

Wikipedia has a lot of factual information on the Tet Offensive

Effect on Communist side

The PLAF’s operational forces were effectively crippled and the offensive failed to achieve its strategic objectives. The decimated cadres of the Viet Cong became largely ineffective for the remaining seven years of the war.

General Giap was removed from total command of the war effort as a result of the tactical and strategic failure of the Offensive.

The left is trying to sell America the lie of America loseing Tet again.(don’t they ever learn). They are doing this in order to try to sell us on Iraq being lost..even when we are winning and Iraqi people are winning.
