The folks that were there, and that would include me, consider Cronkite to be wrong. Tet was a disasterous defeat for the Viet Cong and provided the North Viet Namese the opportunity to take over the fight against the Americans. There are some theories that the offensive was orchestrated by the NVN to wipe out the Viet Cong, who were more interested in ridding SVN from foreigners than installing a communist regime.
