NPR's Guy Raz
says, "Up until about April, 1968, the military men running the Vietnam War could, without wincing, say things like: 'Militarily, we have never been in a better relative position in South Vietnam.' Now when General William Westmoreland said this nearly 30,000 U.S. troops were already dead in Vietnam and the Tet offensive was setting the country on fire." But
the Tet offensive was a failure. What it set on fire was the US anti-war movement.
