Get a clue, man, we had *major* offensives into NV.  We bombed them into
the fucking stone age up in Hanoi.  You all are just talking about
*ground* offensives.  By your standard we had no offensives in Iraq
either.  The fact that the NVA and the guerilla army were still able to
kick the US Army's ass in _high_style_ in the face of insane military,
civilian and infrastructure damage is a tribute purely to the conquest
of ideology over technology.
