Morale problems raised by Pat's return to duty
Airman 11.C. Patrick J. Nugent, President Johnson's son-in-law, returns to active duty with the 113th Tactical Fighter Wing amid cooler reception from some airmen who fear his deployment to Vietnam signals political leverage. Wing commander Gen Willard Millikan reassures staff that Nugent's arrival is unrelated to war status, while some personnel see potential for overseas assignment tied to political optics. A weekend warrior letter to the Washington Star voices resentment over perceived political motivation influencing the unit's fate.
