re: #118 Van Helsing

Don’t give Cronkite a pass. I just saw his brilliant, clueless commentary on the Tet offensive.

Bastard. Rat Commie Bastard.

Cronkite’s skewered assessment of Tet as a U.S defeat was very demoralizing & greatly influenced LBJ.
In fact one Marine Battalion routing numerically superior forces at Hue was a tremendous U.S victory, but Cronkite did not want it viewed that way.
