JD, I have read what General Bui Tin said. He said that the US lost the war at home, not on the battlefield. That is completely different animal than your claim that the Northern Generals were ready to quit after Tet. We fought for almost 5 years after Tet. Operation Linebacker didn't end till fall of 1972, 40,000 sorties, 124,000 tons of bombs, a similar number in the south, untold arty and mortar rounds, countless patrols and assaults. They were never going to quit, no matter how many battle losses, or how much they suffered. Bui Tin was right, he didn't have that upity democracy thing or that irritating 1st ammendment right to free speach that, I guess, form some peoples perspective, crippled the US effort. Nope, Ho Chi Minh, Generals Giap and Bui Tin didn't have to deal with anything like our Bill of Rights or political dissent .

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
