Endorsement and nightmare of a Vietnam withdrawal
A four star general who opposes the war envisions a post withdrawal nightmare. North Vietnamese forces could surge through the DMZ and Ho Chi Minh trail to overrun South Vietnam after the United States pulls out, with corrupt Saigon officials fleeing abroad and tens of thousands of South Vietnamese feared dead or captured. The general notes North Vietnam pools one million armed reserves ready to strike if the U.S. exits.
