*Cronkite strongly influenced the politics and outcome of the [[Vietnam War]]. In 1968 the Communist forces in [[South Vietnam]], facing defeat, staged massive kamikaze attacks on U.S. positions in Saigon and elsewhere during the Chinese New Year celebration called Tet. This suicidal "[[Tet Offensive]]" was a military disaster that cost the lives of 100 Communist fighters for every American killed. But as a top Communist general said years later on the Public Broadcasting Service documentary series Vietnam, those on the left in the American press turned this Marxist military defeat into a political victory for the Communist side.
