Rewriting history by ignoring the victims

to those who know history, Tet has another connotation: It was where the MSM rewrote an American victory into a defeat.

Even Tom Friedman notes that the motive behind the increase in terror is to influence the election by manipulating the American media

And I would add there is a third similarity: Barbarism on the part of the terrorists.

Time Magazine's report
What triggered the Communist slaughter? Many Hue citizens believe that the execution orders came directly from Ho Chi Minh. More likely, however, the Communists simply lost their nerve. They had been led to expect that many South Vietnamese would rally to their cause during the Tet onslaught. That did not happen, and when the battle for Hue began turning in the allies' favor, the Communists apparently panicked and killed off their prisoners.

Hmmm...sounds like the guys in this film
