Dong Nai Regiment Desertions Signal Vietnam War Struggle
Joseph Alsop argues that the Dong Nai Regiment, once a premier Viet Cong unit, now contains 70 to 80 percent North Vietnamese troops. A captured August circular cites premeditated collective desertions as South Vietnamese troops and jungle returnees leave for home or noncombat life. The piece links these depredations to Hanoi’s failing third offensive and growing despair over Abrams’s use of air power. The author warns this pattern could portend heavier trouble for the enemy and unclear consequences for Vietnam.
