Kissinger prophecy fades as Vietnam war drags on
Two years after Kissinger said peace was at hand, the Vietnam conflict worsened. Saigon reports 111,000 Communist and 29,000 government troops killed, 115,000 wounded, 6,000 civilians dead, 15,000 wounded, and 10,000 civilians seized. North Vietnamese troops seized bases near Hanoi, bridges knocked out, and U.S. aid debated as Thieu faces pressure amid renewed fighting and political turmoil.
