Hint:Tet is the Vietnamese new year festival. The Tet offensive is the surprise series of attacks of the Vietnam war. When the attack of war began many South Vietnamese troops were on holiday and the credibility gap means an apparent difference between what is said or promised and what happens in true.it is a term that comes into wide use with journalism.

Complete answer:
The Vietnam war is also known as the living room war it is the most complex war of the Nineteenth-century of simple lack of manpower the war was pre-planned and continues battle by battle American have no justified reason for war to explain to the media and journalists the war cause huge harm also This war is related with so-called credibility gap because what American public being told about the war what they saw on television imaginary type is differs from each other it is said that about 60 journalist died in the war and later credibility gap stuck between the government and the people later it is said that American assaults were the reason behind the war.
The war became the reason for American division as some supported the war and some were against it.

Note:It was the first war on the big screen that is television as television is also invented at that time and it is provided on affordable price and that time television is center for American people because the picture of war captured in the camera and telecasted on television so the most people spent their time in the living room and seen the war on television that's why it is called the living room war.
