US VietNam withdrawal plan from 1962 outlined by Monitor
The Christian Science Monitor says a secret Pentagon study traced a 1962 plan for a five year US troop withdrawal from Vietnam. Begun July 1962 and halted by March 1964, it would have cut forces from about 12 000 to 1500 by 1968, then to 2610 in 1969. The report cites flaws in intelligence, weak commitment, and Diem’s shaky regime, amid Diem Kennedy assassinations and broader Cold War tensions.
