Substitution Troops in Pullout Defended
Ft Lewis Washington dispatch reports the 3rd Battalion 60th Infantry of the 9th Division, with 78 or 83 men, returns from Vietnam as 138 original battalion members depart. Lt Col Petersen says long-serving soldiers go home first while others transfer in, a move he calls fair but painful for some. Sgt Griest agrees some hurt will occur no matter the method. Local troops in South Vietnam describe the substitution as misleading.
