Six Billion A Year Costs For Viet Nam War Rise
The cost of fighting in Viet Nam runs in the billions annually and could rise with escalation. Officials say current figures are classified, but estimates from McNamara put U S forces' operating and support costs around 800 million a year when only 29,000 were in the area. Now about 165,700 servicemen and 60,000 crew aboard ships participate, and Johnson is expected to seek a third major budget supplement around five billion dollars in January plus at least five billion for the 1967 defense budget to support Southeast Asia.
