Johnson rejects talk of returning Gls from Viet Nam
President Johnson told American Legionnaires in New Orleans that U S troops cannot come home until an honorable stable peace is reached and no man can predict when. Vice President Humphrey in Los Angeles softened his own withdrawal timeline saying some troops could go home in late 1968 or early 1969 if South Vietnamese forces can bear more of the fight. Johnson vowed to continue bombing North Vietnam if a halt worsens U S casualties and urged peace on terms of courage and constancy.
