They faulted Army and Defense Department handling, called for longer training for six month servicemen, and urged a new reserve affairs office with legislative action due by February.

Red Defeat ure Says McNamara and Lemnitzer
In hearings before the House Appropriations Committee, Defense Secretary Robert S McNamara and Gen Lyman II Lemnitzer argued the Communist drive faces counters from strong US programs abroad. McNamara predicted Soviet world domination would fail in 10 to 30 years due to rising nations gaining stability, while Lemnitzer noted the goal’s viability is not credible and emphasized rolling back Communist influence in regions such as South Viet Nam. They stressed Washington’s proactive actions in West Berlin and Southeast Asia as key to eventual victory.
