∙ 12y agoThe Tet offensive, Christmas 1968, the siege at Khe Sanh and the My Lai massacre on March 16th 1968 all added to dwindling public support back home in America. The lack of public support back home meant that America was unable to sustain its war effort, and so in a sense these events are the most important moments, as they signalled a turning point in the war - before 1968, many Americans were in support of the war, but as stories of the horrors of war emerged, public opinion was turned against it.
