Combat General Tells LBJ the War Is Going Well
In San Antonio, Brig. Gen. Ellis W. Williamson, commanding the 173rd Airborne Brigade in Viet Nam, told President Johnson the war was “going well” and the enemy was groggy in the fifth round of a boxing analogy. The White House released the briefing alongside an optimistic Viet Nam report from Vice President Hubert Humphrey, who said the tide of battle had begun to turn for the better and warned of a long, costly struggle ahead. The government also noted plans for a civilian army at war strength, a concept revived from the 1961 Berlin crisis to prevent relying on fillers and ensure full unit strength when mobilized.
