Agree. Lang Vei and Ben Het were interesting battles to say the least.

The way MSM handled them was interesting too.

Lang Vei was overrun by the NVA and received a month of coverage including covers of major magazines.

At Ben Het, each NVA assault was soundly repulsed and defeated. Ben Het never made a magazine front page and American civilians never heard of the place much less the battle and NVA defeats.

This link has the Ben Het story. It is the most accurate I've seen...though I could provide more detail.
