Okay, so it's a blog AND an opinion piece about Trump revealing truths they don't want us to know. But the part about the Vietnam Tet Offensive hits the nail on the head. For those of you who have only received the revisionist version, here's the truth:
The Viet Cong and North Vietnam Army put some 70,000 troops in a coordinated attack on more than 100 targets in the south. All to foment a rebellions by the south's population.
It was a total flop. In the Battle of Hue alone, 500 US Marines and South Vietnamese (the majority) were killed – but over 5,000 VC & NVA died. It happened everywhere across the country.
What did the American media report:?
Our media, however, reported that we lost. They were present and they lied, including Walter Cronkite. Cronkite reported in February of 1968 that the war "was a stalemate and probably unwinnable" despite knowing that the NVA had virtually been rendered soldierless in the Tet offensive as their casualty rate ran ten times the South's.
In total opposite of media reports, WE DID NOT LOSE in South Vietnam. Just like we did not lose in Iraq. In Korea, the Leftists and Progs forced us into a stalemate. Now they want the same in the War Against Terror.
The point of this? That The Establishment, its minions the media, and other political figures either mislead or outright lie to gain and retain their power. Trump already has his and doesn't need to do anything but speak the truth.
That's what they're afraid of.
