The Tet Offensive was an attack on South Vietnamese forces during the Vietnamese New Year. North Vietnamese troops, i.e. Viet Cong and Viet Minh, came up with a plan that would attack the South Vietnamese forces and the American troops. These tactics included surprise attacks, mow-downs, and setting up booby traps. It was a psychological win for the North Vietnamese because the fact that they found a way that could weaken the South Vietnamese forces. Days later, the US came back with harsh counterattacks such as the My Lai Massacre. The massacre killed over 250 Viet Cong members and 150 civilians, that's over 400 people killed. The leader of this massacre was not welcomed kindly when reentering the US.

It in the military, especially in the field (front lines), an officer might point to a map and state, "...intell says there's a large buildup of NVA...here...", then possibly further adding, "...intell believes they might be elements of the B/5 infantry regiment...we'll insert here and sweep up to here...until contact is made...be prepared for...etc." A buildup of NVA=large amount of (ENEMY) North Vietnamese Army troops in a designated area. We liked to know who we were fighting; NVA or VC. If it was VC, we knew it would most likely be a short fight, with the possibility of low to no casualties. If it was NVA, we knew it could be a serious battle, with lots of casualties. It was not past the NVA to throw in some heavy stuff during a fight. If it was just VC, we pretty well knew it would all be small arms and grenades.

How was the Tet Offensive both a victory and a defeat for the US?
The Tet offensive was military a massive failure by the Vietcong in which they achieved no strategic success and lost a large number of fighters. However, it was terrible for the american army morale, who had been frequently told that they were winning and the North Vietnamese were on the brink of collapse, which was clearly not the case based on the size and penetration of the Tet Offensive showed this was untrue, and it also showed that many South Vietnamese were supporting the Vietcong and not the Americans, which again damaged morale. The same sort of thing happened to the US public, which made the Vietnam War slowly become a huge public discussion, and a political liability to the government which supported the war that the American public collectively believed could not be won.
For a military historian the Tet Offensive was an American victory, for the wider historian it was the beginning of the end of America's admitting defeat in Vietnam.
