7. I can't imagine, Thom . . .
Thank you for your service.

I was young during Vietnam, (grade school/jr. high) and all war info was filtered through my WWII vet dad who was a "my country, right or wrong" type, so I don't know a lot about the facts, so please excuse any ignorance in this question, but . . . What I've read within the last few years is that in spite of heavy casualties taken by our troops, Tet was even more devestating to the NVA. They were essentially beaten, and never really recovered. The rest of the war was conducted by guerillas. "Some" view Cronkite as the utmost traitor, turning the American public against a war that could have been won (at that point.) Have you ever heard that? What is the truth?
