While the support of the war from the American perspective was already on the decline, the Tet offensive intensified the feelings against the war and US involvement in the conflict all together. Because the attack was on a supposed day of peace, it caused the States to come to the realization that to gain any ground in the fight they would have had to fight "dirty" by increasing their bombing even more and killing anyone not aligned with South Vietnam. Thus, perception of the war from the American public became extremely negative, adding to this fact the leak of the Pentagon papers to the media which held all of the casualty numbers and debts for the war.
