Again, the offensive was launched by the VC, not the NVA. PAVN was just logistical supply and political watchdogs, and in any case they didn't lead, and in fact were driven back into Cambodia later. The VC were crushed, finished as even guerilla units,so obviously the PAVN's weren't a major invasion force until later,after Tet.
Whose arms you had to twist vigorously to get token contributions. None of them wanted your stupid unwinnable war.
Yeah, cuz the Soviets and Red Chinese never interfered, the Viet Minh leadership just converted to commie nonsense on their own volition. lol lol lol what a tool.It's almost as though Eisenhower had nothing to do with preventing Vietnamese self determination.

You might as well claim the Soviets invaded, too, since there were a few Soviet advisors running around as well.
They converted to Communism because the Capitalists denied them self governmentYeah, cuz the Soviets and Red Chinese never interfered, the Viet Minh leadership just converted to commie nonsense on their own volition. lol lol lol what a tool.

Preparations for the offensive were already underway. The logistical build-up began in mid-year, and by January 1968, 81,000 tons of supplies and 200,000 troops, including seven complete infantry regiments and 20 independent battalions made the trip south on the Ho Chi Minh Trail.[67]
South Vietnamese and U.S. military intelligence estimated that PAVN/NLFSV forces in South Vietnam during January 1968 totaled 323,000 men, including 130,000 PAVN regulars, 160,000 NLFSV and members of the infrastructure, and 33,000 service and support troops. They were organized into nine divisions composed of 35 infantry and 20 artillery or anti-aircraft artillery regiments, which were, in turn, composed of 230 infantry and six sapper battalions.

After WWII Ho pleaded with the Western Powers for independenceNah. Ho would invite the Viet Minh leaders to meetings in Red China; those that kowtowed to him were allowed to leave and return, those that didn't were either killed or ratted out to the French intelligence service. You wouldn't know that because you only like commie sources and propaganda. Most of the VC in the Mekong Delta weren't Reds, which is why after the fall the Reds hunted them down and killed or interned them. Even most of the rank and file weren't Reds north of the Delta. We were smuggling them out for years after the '72 pullout. You wouldn't know that either; your commie bosses didn't like to tell you anything that made them look bad.
The yardies and other tribes and the LLDB units handled the PAVN for the most part.
After WWII Ho pleaded with the Western Powers for independence
They laughed him off
The Communists welcomed him
He was laughed off because they didn’t think yellow people were capable of ruling themselvesLOL Ho was from France himself. Commies claiming they want ' independence' is just a bad joke. He wanted to be a dictator, period. He was a commie before he ever left France. He was giant joke, which was why he was laughed off.
More rubbish. U.S. policy was anti-colonialist, while the Commies were busy racing in and setting up their own colonies. As usual you keep posting last with nonsense.He was laughed off because they didn’t think yellow people were capable of ruling themselves
Ho pleaded with the American ideals of freedom and liberty
The US sided with Colonialism
One bullet hole in the Maddox and the second reported crisis two days later proved to be "ghosts in the radar".Gulf of Tonkin wasn't fake. They've interviewed the North Vietnamese who crewed the torpedo boats who attacked the USS Maddox.

The Vietnamese were fighting a revolution to free themselves from French tyranny, just as we fought a revolution to free ourselves from British tyranny.
If anyone would've listened, it would've been America.
They say Roosevelt would've backed Ho Chi Mihn against the French but Roosevelt died.
Meanwhile, like all colonizers, the French raped Vietnam for everything they could.
“All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?”
But yeah, Tet was a good propaganda victory.
Viet-nam is the price we paid to keep France out of the Warsaw Pact
Wrong.
France was one of the founding members of NATO in 1949. They were still smarting from their defeat and occupation from WWII, and wanted to be sure that never happened again. It must be remembered, originally NATO was seen more as a way to keep Germany controlled than to keep the Soviets at bay. An extension of the old French-English defense treaty.
The Warsaw Pact was not founded for another 6 years in 1955, in response to NATO. And by that time, France was already out of Indochina.
This is the problem with really bad propaganda. When compared to reality, it is shown to almost always be completely wrong.
