  Vets With A Mission - Goodbye Ho Chi Minh
Bui Tin rapidly became disillusioned with the post-war regime as it sank into corruption and arrogance.
Bui Tin was particularly appalled at the political humiliation of his long-time mentor, Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap, the hero of the Battle of Dien Bien Phu.
In a recent interview published in The Wall Street Journal, former colonel Bui Tin who served on the general staff of the North Vietnamese Army and received the unconditional surrender of South Vietnam on April 30, 1975 confirmed the American Tet 1968 military victory: "Our loses were staggering and a complete surprise.

Bui Tin was one of the survey party who trekked south in 1964 to recommend that the Ho Chi Minh Trail be turned into a real road network.
Tin recalls his "handshake of peace" with Army sergeant Max Beilke, the last American fightingman to leave Vietnam, who later was killed on September 11, 2001, when the hijacked American airlines flight struck the Pentagon.
Tin, who was at Dien Bien Phu in 1954, twice came down the Ho Chi Minh Trail, and rose to become a colonel in the People's Army of Vietnam.

 WORDS FROM THE HEART
Bui Tin, former North Vietnamese Army full colonel and former editor-in-chief of North Vietnam Army newspaper Quan Doi Nhan Dan, published his Tet Greeting letter.
In 1990, Bui Tin sought political asylum in France and joined the rank of the movements for Vietnam's democracy and freedom.
He admitted of having woefully realized the fact that in 30 years of war, the highest number of Vietnamese war victims were killed and wounded not by foreign soldiers but by their compatriots who have been eagerly slaying one another because of strange doctrines.

Bui enlisted at age 18 in the Vietnamese People’s Army.
Tin asserted that the POWs were well-treated with regard to food, clothing, reading material and the like and that punishment consisted only of being "forced into the tiny cells with their feet cuffed to the floor.
But as untrue as all of Tin's statements are, perhaps the worst is that POWs were "paraded/walked in the streets." He is doubtless alluding to the infamous "Hanoi March," when American prisoners, in a long file, two-by-two, were marched through the streets of that enemy city to a stadium.

 Tet Offensive of 1968
Tin responded "It was essential to our strategy", referring to the war being fought on two fronts, the Vietnam battlefield and back home in America through the antiwar movement on college campuses and in the city streets.
Tin surmised, "America lost because of its democracy; through dissent and protest it lost the ability to mobilize a will to win." Mr.

Bui Tin also recalled how appalled he was at finding out that Commmunist police officials were charging Vietnamese boat people hefty bribes to allow them to leave their country illegally, often aboard overladen and unseaworthy ships.
Bui Tin said that they had occasionally been in touch, pointing out that the 84-year-old former South Vietnamese president was in poor health and had completely withdrawn from politics.
As in his book, Bui Tin insisted during the interview on his outrage at the political humiliation inflicted after Ho Chi Minh's death in 1969 on his mentor, General Vo Nguyen Giap, the hero of Dien Bien Phu.

Bui lists the main reasons why the war was so unmanageable and why the US (and coincidentally S. Viet Nam) eventually lost it.
Bui is always quick to point out American missteps, but rarely expounds on S. Vietnamese imperfections.
"In the Jaws of History" is most valuable for Bui Diem's account of his early years in the North, when the "great dilemma in the lives for all nationalists was coming to a head".

 General Giap and Congressman Murtha by Henry Holzer
Bui Tin was wrong, and he was right.
But Bui Tin was correct that opposition to the war—with John Kerry, who would be President and Commander-in-Chief, in the vanguard—sapped our strength and greatly contributed not only abstractly to “America’s loss,” but concretely to the loss of some 58,000 American lives, countless more psychologically and physically wounded, and literally millions of Southeast Asians murdered.
Bui Tin’s “those people” and “people like Jane Fonda,” and Nelson DeMille’s “people like her,” is simply another way of referring to John Kerry.

There are several sources from the other side stating that Americans bought into and pushed Soviet propaganda; including NVA Colonel Tin Bui and Russian defector Staanislov Lunev, plus Owens mentioned Romanian spy chief Ion Mihai Pacepa.
U.S. POW including Paul Galanti and several others say they were taunted and pressured to confess to war crimes by North Vietnamese communists armed with news clippings of antiwar protestors charging war crimes, one of the protestors being an American naval officer (John Kerry).
Based on the words of Lunev, Pacepa, Tin Bui, Paul Galanti and others it may be difficult to turn the tables on the Republicans and show John Kerry is an American patriot.
