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.
