Jane failed math it appears....and must be reading Communist Party Talking Points.

He/She/It skips right over the 70,000 NVA Troops involved in that soiree back in 68.

Ten PAVN Battalions and Six Battalions of VC attacked Hue City by itself.

The end result of the Tet 68 Offensive......


The Tet Offensive was a tactical defeat for the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces. The Tet Offensive is widely viewed as a turning point in the war despite the high cost to the communists (approximately 32,000 killed and about 5,800 captured) for what appeared at the time to be small gains.

A scenic place called Khe Shanh took place at about the same time and that was no small bit of fun.

If Jane put down the Daily Worker and read Summers, Sorley, McMaster the light might come on.

But....too true about the Ignore feature.....there is a seat waiting for HJ in the Peanut Gallery.

One more fanciful yarn like those of today and he will be out of here like a Rat from an Acquaduct!

It is plain he has been indoctrinated by the Communist Propagandists and thus there is no hope in discussing anything with him.
