#USInvaders & allies recorded the war using war photographers, North Vietnam & Viet Cong did it through #art.

In #TetOffensive 3 phases in 1968, North Vietnam army & Viet Cong attacked military & civilian sites across South Vietnam.

#USTerrorists retaliated with #MyLaiMassacre on 16 March 1968 - 504 civilians, mainly women & children, were gang-raped & mutilated. Those who helped the Vietnamese were seen as traitors. Only one of the US terrorists - William Calley, was tried. He was only sentenced to house arrest for 3.5 years for the atrocious war crimes. None of the other US terrorists were ever punished for participating in same atrocities on our peoples.

My big Auntie lived/worked in the tunnels for years, after quitting her nursing job & leaving our family for a decade. She worked mainly in the resistance army comms & also on their medical team. She was part of the organizational team that planned the #TetOffensive

North Vietnam & Viet Cong’s Tet Offensive in 1968 took South Vietnamese & #USATerrorists by surprise. Launched on Vietnam’s lunar new year holiday, it was one of the biggest military campaigns in the war.

Cu Chi Tunnels near Saigon was integral. The 121-kilometre-long network of subterranean tunnels, a larger network that cut across most of Vietnam, were Viet Cong’s lifeline.

Hidden under camouflaged booby traps, the tunnels provided our resistance fighters with supply/comms routes, living quarters & storage for food/weapons. Air and water were scarce, insects, scorpions, and rodents aplenty, it didn't deter them.

If you substitute #NorthVietnam with #DonaldTrump and #TetOffensive with #CNN #debate , you can see that the #DemocraticParty is getting a #DoOver of the #1968DemocraticConvention and the #1968election 🗳️ - which gave #America its first criminal #President btw.

#POTUS #Biden can achieve a greater legacy than #LBJ by withdrawing from the #2024election and then helping lead united #Democrats to VICTORY! #USpol

55 years ago today the dream died and the country was effectively lynched, not to recover for at least another 40 years. It was an awful spring and year too! Just awful, hard to put into words how our world was poisoned by the evil that was manifest everywhere in 1968.

In an attempt to spark a general uprising and thus topple the South Vietnamese government, the communist National Liberation Front launched the Tet Offensive #OTD in 1968. While failing to immediately accomplish their goal, this simultaneous bombardment of hundreds of towns and cities led to flagging US morale and helped invoke fear in the later incursions that won the war.

This was famously a big deal in the #VietnamWar. The #TetOffensive was planned for the day after #Tet, Vietnamese traditional New Year.

But while south Vietnam was still in the same time zone as #China, UTC+8, North Vietnam had switched to UTC+7 to express independence.

That year, the new moon fell within half an hour of local midnight, which meant that Tet fell 1 day earlier in the North than the South, and so Northern forces attacked the south a day earlier than expected.
