77. I'll share the credit
between the ARVN and US Airforce.

There's no doubt the air power was vital, but airpower alone wouldn't have stopped the offensive either if the ARVN was like most Americans think they were, an army that just ran away. I think we both agree that the portrayal of them often seen in the US is very unfair.

What's missing from history are the books written by ARVN soldiers and leaders telling their side of the war. It seems to be a black hole of history.
