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.

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.
