Why did general westmoreland perceive tet as another battle of the bulge?
Never thought about it before, but there are similarities. The Allies called it the Battle of the Bulge, but to the Germans it was the Ardennes Offensive. The Battle of the Bulge was the largest offensive which the Germans ever launched against the US in WW2, and Tet was the largest offensive mounted against the US by North Vietnam. Both caused initial panic, produced high casualties, and were eventually defeated. Marines defending Khe Sanh were surrounded like the 101st Airborne which had defended Bastogne. Of course, Tet was more of a surgical strike than the Bulge, and it was an unintentional propaganda success because its news images horrified the American public and convinced many that US involvement had been a mistake. If such news coverage had been possible (and allowed) during the Battle of the Bulge, its effect on the home front can only be speculated today.
What are lingering effects of the battle of the bulge on the world today?
One lingering effect of the Battle of the Bulge is the increased awareness and recognition of the importance of military intelligence and strategic planning. The surprise attack by the Germans highlighted the need for effective intelligence gathering and counterintelligence measures. Another effect is the significant loss of life and devastation caused by the battle, which reminds us of the human cost of war and the importance of preventing conflicts. Additionally, the battle's outcome played a role in shaping the post-war geopolitical landscape, contributing to the eventual defeat of Nazi Germany and the end of World War II in Europe.
