Editorial: Will America Involve in Arab-Israeli War
The piece weighs U.S. and European impacts of involvement in the Arab-Israeli war. Defense Secretary McNamara seeks limited Army reserve reshuffles, suggesting no broad call ups. It argues neutrality could reduce U.S. troop needs, while Israeli forces already number 300,000 well trained troops. It highlights need for specialized personnel and naval assets, plus potential aviation and communications shortages. Economically, Western Europe faces no major dislocation if Suez closes, thanks to diversified oil supplies. Israel seeks U.S. military support in aircraft and specialized gear, with shortages mirroring Vietnam-era gaps.
