McNamara Presses Air War Stance in Vietnam Hearings
The three week closed hearings on Vietnam policy reveal McNamara favoring amplified air operations against North Vietnam to compel settlement, while warning against risking China or the Soviet Union. The subcommittee notes policy disputes with the Joint Chiefs, and stresses civilian oversight and a cautious path toward ending the war. Reports describe field actions across South Vietnam, casualties, and the rising U.S. troop count to about 462,000 with enemy forces near 297,000.
