    The Tet Offensive of 1968 marked a turning point in the Vietnam War where it became clear the U.S. was losing. Poor strategic decisions like broadcasting graphic war footage undermined support on the home front. Troops lacked motivation as the purpose of the war remained unclear. Mistakes were also made such as using indiscriminate bombing and napalm on Vietnamese villages despite an objective to protect civilians. By early 1968, it was evident the U.S. strategy was failing as casualties mounted without significant progress towards victory.

    The Tet Offensive: Was the U.S. Losing the War?

    The United States were clearly losing the war by early 1968. Do you agree?
    The United States made many poor decision with regards to the Vietnam War. They
    broadcasted everything for the people back at home in America to see. They saw lives being
    taken in front of their eyes. It was a very violent sight being broadcasted. Many solders didnt
    want to be fighting. They never saw what positives effects would come out of the purpose of
    the war. They also made a very poor decision to kick Vietnamese people out of their villages
    in the jungle. The US Bombed several places that they were ultimately supposed to be
    protecting. They used Napalm in order to take down places that werent necessary to destroy.
    It's clear to say that the US was losing the war in the 1968.
