Student AtialyzOs City Attack
Editor's Note: This is the second in; a series of student
reports from Vietnam by. ttbo'students . :from New York
City's Queens College.
One student, Ralph Paladin, supports the presence
of the United States in Vietnam. The other, Lee Dem,.
Bart, does not. ' •
The Daily Collegian is matting the series in cooper
ation with the Queens College:newspaper, The Phoenix.
SAIGON, Feb. 4 The Communist attack on the
capital of South Vietnam began on the second day of the
Chinese New Year. Simultaneously, dozens of major
government and American installations in and around
Saigon were attacked by small bands of well-armed
Viet Cong with orders to capture and hold until relieved.
The relief never came. Within:72 hours, two-thirds of the
attackers were dead or captured, the rest routed. • • • •
Within seconds of one another, troops attacking the
Presidential Palace were spotted by Korean guards in
front of the nearby Ambassador's home, a powerful ex
plosion damaged the Philippine Embassy, • a 19-man
suicide squad breached, the outer wall of the American
Embassy and was able to capture a portion of the
building, the Vietnamese radio station was • destroyed,
numerous police stations were attacked, and Tan Son
Nuht Airbase, a few miles outside the city, was fired
upon. Throughout the entire South, similar attacks
were in progress with vatting' degrees of success. •
It seems - clear that there Were three purposes in
carrying out this concerted attack on most of the major
population centers of the country: to score, enough sig
nificant military victories as possible to force a coalition
government on the South; to, deniOnetiate to the 'people
of the large cities, who • are lo sing their fear of the Com
munists, that the Viet Cong are still around and power
ful enough to strike anywhere: and to soots 'many
propaganda points as possible against the U.S. at home
• and the rest of the. world. They had some failures and
some successes.
There is little doubt that the'Viet Cong failed . .to
achieve any- significant military Victories: In Saigon,
only the attacks on the radio station and the American
Embassy were successful. Captured areas of the city were
retaken almost immediately. Military and police instal
lations beat off the attackers without exception. Snipers
were only a' scattered inconvenience.
In the remainder of Vietnam, captured areas of the
provincial capitals were regained within hours, air bases
continued to operate with only one field damaged ser
iously. Over 12,000 Viet Cong were killed and 3,000 cap
' tured, a ratio of 12 to one 'over allied killed. Militarily,
in fact, it was a complete rout.
It had been over six months since any of the major
' cities of the South have come under Viet Cong attack.
Since the last major offensive, the government has
strengthened ifs hold on the provincial capitals and
through them, the people. It has legitimatized its rule
' through elections, and instituted some badly needed
reforms throughout the country.
While only a small step, the people in the cities are
for the first time being approached by gOverntnent
agents other than tax collectors. Some of the remote
; ness and apathy is breaking down, and the cities are not
, secure places for the Viet Cong. Suspected VC are reg
ularly informed upon in the large cities today, while a
• year ago this was unheard of. And most:important, the
Viet Cong have not been able to retaliate in force
against the informers.
The new radio and television nets that blanket Viet
nam have played a large role in creating a sense of
national identity not as Vietnamese, but as So •
uth
Vietnamese. For the first time, national heroes, popular
actors and singers are creating some community in the

The Viet Cong attack on the Saigon radio station
and on a number of local radio stations in other parts
of the, country underlines the fact that the Viet Cong
realizes the threat the airwaves pose to them. American
radio and TV, heard and watched by as many Vietna
mese as Americans, are helping our national image and
making more and more untenable the Viet Cong pic
ture of Americans as imperialist oppressors.
Cholon in Saigon is populated by Vietnamese of
Chinese extraction, and in an attempt to infiltrate suc
cessfully without fighting, the Viet Cong employed
their members of similar ethnic background. Almost to
a man they were identified by resident Chinese.
When ARVN and American troops entered the city
in force, the fiercest fighting in Saigon broke out. With
the help of the local citizens, all the VC infiltrators were
rooted out and hundreds' killed in battle. Hundreds more
attempted to exfiltrate in sampans and barges. Snipers
in Saigon were captured or killed with the help of the
Vietnamese who pointed, out escape routes' and building
entrances to the police. General Weyand, Commander of
the 111 Corps, estimated that ARVN carried 70% of
the fighting load throughout the South, and accounted
for 700 to 1,000 casualties.
The Viet Cong killed and wounded thousands of
civilians in the three days of fighting. In Saigon there
were two reported cases of Viet Cong using women and
children as shields to make their escape out of the city.
In Cholon they captured a children's hospital and used
it as a stronghold, They overran a military compound
outside of Saigon and executed the wives and children
living in it. Snipers shot at civilians and soldiers alike.
Whatever else the Vietnamese feel about the Viet
Cong, it is not fear. When the curfew was lifted for a
few hours in the secure parts of the city,. people and
traffic cluttered this streets within minutes. While the
Viet Cong may still be around, they seem to have lint
their credibility. It is difficult to terrorise a people that
. simply does not take you seriously anymore.
Much has been made of the VC ability to attack
and hold the American Embassy in Saigon, if only for
a few hours. Banner headlines throughout the world
press proclaim the lack of security that this indicates.
Is it possible that with a half million troops in Viet
nam, the United States cannot even protect its own
Embassy from attack? The answer is that we did not try.
Only seven men guarded the Embassy on the night
of the attack. The Viet Cong had no trouble approaching
'the grounds and blasting a hole in the wall surrounding
the compound. The counterattack which occurred within
minutes was slowed because of a lack of heavy weapqns
that might have destroyed valuable papers and: build
ings. But in a few hours, and without extensive damage
(bullet holes in the walls and damage to the roof was
the worst of it), the Embassy was recaptured and 19
enemy killed.
Militarily, then, the attack on Saigon and the rest
of the nation failed to meet its objective. The present
government is still functiohing and is in control as much
as before the attack: What succetses the Viet Cong did
have were temporary and pyrrhic.
It is difficult to conceive that the United States can
possibly be winning a war in which it cannot even pro•
tect its own Embassy from enemy ,attack. But it must
be conceived, if the engagements of last week are any
indication, the United States is winning.
• It should be more difficult to accept than the fact
that at the height of the battle, planes were still using
Tan Son Ntht Airbase, Americans and Vietnamese were
walking the streets, Vietnam Radio stayed on the air
from' auxiliary transmitters, and the battles were
watched from rooftops
,and. windows. Vietnam was at
tacked, but is was never under siege.
