A 23 year old Vietnam combat veteran from Pownal told the Bennington Rotary Club that the Vietnamese want American troops there and are glad to have them. First Lt. Brian Pizzano, with the 82nd Airborne, spoke of his year in Southeast Asia as adviser to Regional and Popular Forces, noting civilians are innocent victims often misrepresented by the press. He defended U.S. conduct, described strict village proximity rules, and said soldiers fought with purpose despite harsh conditions. He criticized editorials and TV coverage as biased, claiming many reports were staged or colored by reporters.
