Westmoreland Sees Possible Need for More U.S. Troops
Gen. William C. Westmoreland said additional American troops likely are needed in Vietnam to deny the enemy gains and deter Hanoi. He gave no figures beyond the 525,000 authorized, while noting some sources estimate up to 100,000 more. He discussed the Tet offensive, morale, bombing impact, and the need to end debate and push ahead with the war effort.
