Monitor reveals 1962 withdrawal plans from Vietnam
The Christian Science Monitor reports a secret Pentagon study shows a 1962 plan to withdraw U.S. troops from 12 000 to 1 500 by 1968 and 15 215 to 2 610 by 1969, later judged flawed by intelligence gaps and political instability in South Vietnam, amid broader Cold War pressures. The Monitor notes the plan aimed to pressure Diem and signal withdrawal, yet lacked deep commitment to the concept.
