Tet Offensive leader Upholds Ideals in Saigon Briefing
Viet Cong General Tran Van Tra, in a rare public chat with Western reporters at a Canadian-hosted event, praised American soldiers for courage but said their fight lacked a just cause. He urged that nations fight for an ideal, claimed Viet Cong strategy targeted de escalation and a Paris peace deal, and asserted Viet Cong control of battlefield intelligence. Tra also criticized U.S. arms shipments into South Vietnam as violating the cease fire, while US officials denied any breach, stating one-for-one replacement of materiel.
