Herbert says on TV high body counts brought extra leave
Army Lt. Col. Anthony B. Herbert told Thames Television viewers that American officers in Vietnam rewarded high body count reports with extra leave time in Hong Kong. He described torture incidents and said some commanders allowed them, while noting changes to R and R rewards for prisoners and captives. He defended his own actions and alleged leadership failures among Gen. John Barnes and Col. J. Ross Franklin.
