Abrams Entwined War Fate Keeps Plans Hidden
General Craighton Abrams left Washington for Vietnam with no clear signals on future troop levels or his own career path. He deflected questions about succeeding Westmoreland and urged reporters to await White House comments. The trip followed secrecy and no details on manpower changes, while Tet offensives were noted as setbacks by Ambassador Komar. Fulbright urged a civilian national post to oversee ending the war, and Roche warned nuclear weapons in Vietnam were inconceivable under the current administration.
