Marines' Chapman on Khe Sanh defense cannot be beaten
Gen. Leonard F. Chapman Jr says North Vietnamese cannot force the U S out of Khe Sanh by bombing the airstrip and cutting supplies. He notes ample helicopter and air drop capability, weather could hasten any assault, and stresses holding main infiltration routes as crucial to strategic gains. He opposes a broader pullback strategy and predicts long term Communist offensives may backfire.
