Military urged modest troop cuts in Vietnam push
Senior American commanders in Vietnam urged the Nixon administration to pursue a modest next withdrawal, preferring slower reductions through mid 1972. They suggested a residual force of about 20,000 to 50,000 advisers, with potential for faster exit if enemy activity and Saigon progress allow. Pentagon sources noted no fixed size for the next drawdown and warned against projecting a third reduction next month.
