You had what was called the hard core in Vietnam which refered to the NVA and many VC but your average run of the mill VC was only motivated by the threat of a bullet in the head and they made excellent cannon fodder

Was Tet a night action?
I have seen clips and most seem to be in daylight.
....or maybe is was muzzle flash from all those M16s on full auto!
400 (4000?) rounds a man seems hardly enough.

It was day and night, of course - no one fights a battle only in the evenings.

That was the air campaign, as opposed to a ground assault.
You should have done 10,000 hours of work instead of only 5,000.

You did not say anything about a ground assault, just a "battle".
