Defense Official Voices Concern Over GIs Romance in Vietnam
A high ranking Defense Department spokesman cautioned that moral conditions among troops in Vietnam and elsewhere require ongoing command focus. Maj. Gen. Berg said in a letter to McCalls that while most personnel are not more immoral than before, some persist in immoral conduct despite guidance. The McCall's article notes marriages and various relationships between American servicemen and Vietnamese women, with many families formed and some women becoming prostitutes or entering temporary arrangements.
