The main impact of Tet was to harden US civilians' resolve against the war. This is because Tet, on the ground, was an absolute disaster for the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese. We had been led to believe the Vietnamese couldn't launch an offensive like this, and when it happened it shocked the Americans.
(Answer #2). The Tet Offensive made the American public more pessimistic about the chance for victory in Vietnam and, just as importantly, made them trust their government less than they had. Before the offensive, the US government had been assuring the people that victory was just around the corner.They claimed the enemy was all but destroyed. When the enemy attacked all across South Vietnam in this offensive, it proved that those statements were inaccurate.This made Americans feel that the war was not being won after 4 years of huge troop presence in Vietnam. It also made them feel their government was lying to them and that reduced support for the war.he Tet Offensive changed the perception that the US could win with some type of honor and leave Vietnam in a proud condition. That changed as soon as the reports of the offensive were reaching people's dining rooms through the TV.
