4. Snippy today?
The idea of discussion forums is to "discuss" - or have dialogue.
Excuse me - that is what I thought DU was about.

3. The Tet Offensive
Happened during the Vietnam War - it was a major military offensive by the Vietcong - it produced some stunning visuals, and it appeared that the Vietnamese were winning - it galvanized opposition to the war who argued that this offensive showed that we needed to pull out.

Ironically the Vietcong over-extended. They were weaker after this offensive.
