January 1968 - Tet, year of the Monkey.  The United States Marines sent
to Vietnam by Kennedy and LBJ were expecting little more than drunken
Vietnamese partying in the streets.  However, the Tet cease-fire was
broken and the United States experienced the largest single assault of
the war.  Floods of VC guerrillas poured in from the Ho Chi Minh trail
in Laos and Cambodia and effectivly split South Vietnam in two.  The US
embassy in Saigon was attacked.  Although in the end, the Tet offensive
did not accomplish all its military goals, public opinion was turned
away from the war and the backlash from the citizens ended any hopes
of winning the war.  However, that wasn't the only problem.
Politicians were unwillling to commit to the war, and there were riots
back home.  Could an effective counterstrike been launched?  Would a
concentrated assault on the North work?

@end -- this line must be here!
