8 Reasons Why the Battle of Hue Was So Pivotal in the Vietnam War

Lot of blame for that to go around, but the most influential with the folks back home was, ""It seems now more certain than ever that the bloody experience of Vietnam is to end in a stalemate ...." Lost all respect for Walter Cronkite when I was told in a letter from my brother what he'd said. TET was CLEARLY a decisive victory. I shed no tears when he died.

"The Communists suffered ghastly casualties in the general fighting in February and March 1968. About 45,000 of the 80,000 troops in the first waves were killed or badly wounded within that time frame. The People’s Liberation Armed Forces (PLAF) [Viet Cong] guerrilla units had spearheaded the attacks on the cities, where resistance was far stronger than in the hinterlands. So badly were these units mauled that many were never reconstituted. Other PLAF battalions and regiments took on large numbers of replacements, but they were usually North Vietnamese troops, and the fighting for the remainder of the war would be dominated by regular People’s Army of Vietnam (PAVN) [NVA] units trained and equipped in the North."
