        Having experienced the tensions then and now, the personal fears (due to the war) were greater then, but fears for the nation (due to subterfuge) are far greater now. @McFaul @EvelynNFarkas

        Even before dust cleared, Tet was a resounding defeat for the VC & NK -- at least until Walter Cronkite/MSM blasted it out as a victory for the North, which was #FakeNews. If this is your only Tet memorial tweet, you are perpetuating it.

        Technically, not true. They didn't seize the embassy but did occupy part of the grounds.

        What’s sad is our brave troops fought them off and they don’t get credit for it . No seizure occurred. It’s a shame you continue this false narrative regardless of anyone’s opinion of the war itself . There were still boys on the ground that won in a major way.

        My understanding is that they never seized the embassy. In fact not even close . Mr. Historian you may want to check your history. Stop the hyperbole especially with regard to history. We currently have enough to go around. Please answer this tweet.

        Good appearance on Morning Joe, the little I was able to catch. Regret missing you at House of Hope several months ago. Hope to see you sometime again when you speak in Mpls-St Paul.

        First fake news I found out about. Shattered my image of Walter Cronkite. If we had had the Internet then, and knew the truth, we likely would have finished the job. How many more people would be alive today?
