67 Outlook Lodge Sees Drop In Casualties
Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge predicted a downturn in American casualties in Vietnam for 1967 as success widens in wiping out hard core terrorists. He cautioned the war may continue until political and economic programs consolidate, with four fronts: conventional combat, terrorism removal, constitutional politics, and an inflation-staved economy. He noted 400,000 U.S. troops with about 100 weekly deaths, and said progress this year hinges on eliminating hard core leaders and winning villagers’ confidence.
