It was the same in the Vietnam War. Remember the Tet Offensive? A handful of rebels couldn't even get through the gates of the American Embassy and the media reported it like the apocalypse was coming.
The Tet Offensive was a military failure for the communists but proved to be a political victory because it persuaded many Americans that the war was being lost.
