Tet offensive. Everything I’ve ever seen either says or implies the NVA was victorious. Turns out that was bogus. The best estimate is that they sustained a casualty rate of 19-1. Seems like misrepresentation of the truth for political reasons began YEARS ago.
Well, I see it took one comment to turn this comic page into Mallard Fillmore. While I totally agree with one half of the comments and completely abhor the other, there are arenas and strips made for this political postering. This is not one of them.
Sadly, my “I don’t care if he’s dead, I still want to IMPEACH NIXON” t-shirt has gone missing. But I still have, from many years earlier, my “Impeach the Cox-sacker” bumper sticker.
The Tet Offensive – General Gap stated in his memoir that it was a costly defeat for the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong – until the American news media and the likes of Jane Fonda made it into a victory for them.

It is a sad commentary when it takes someone like Trumpie the clown to make Nixon look good ( He’s not ) !

Nixon was insidiously dangerous. Trump is openly proud of being dangerous.

Meddick should read some history. Johnson was in office when the Tet offensive occurred, not Nixon.

Compare his crimes to the present days office holder. If you have ANY BRAINS, you are, “Wishing for the good ole’ days”. I bet.
