Ho Chi Minh Tet Offensive
1,316 wordsThe Tet offensive was certainly the decisive campaign of the war, but lost in these set of battles was the real underlying reason why the grossly underestimated NLF and North Vietnamese army could actually succeed in this undermanned set of attacks. I think the real success of this campaign was not the effectiveness and the planning of the NLF and NV army, but the lack of preparation of the US forces. The NLF and NV army have received too much credit on this suicide mission. The credit should ac...
