Army to replace second terms with new troops in Vietnam
The Defense Department said the army will return soldiers sent to Vietnam for a second time after Gen Westmoreland requested more forces. About 40 percent of the 4,500 Army contingent and 6,000 Marine Corps men had a second tour. A Pentagon spokesman said plans aim to swap second terms with new troops without harming unit integrity. Rep Schweiker criticized recalls after partial U.S. stays. A rule waivers allowed sending veterans back to Vietnam within 25 months.
