Year of decision in Viet Nam leads to 1966 showdown
UPI reports 1966 likely the bloodiest year for Americans in South Viet Nam as casualties rise toward 2,000 in 1965 and prepare for escalation. It notes Pleiku attacks, Marine landings, Chu Pong and la Drang battles, and a growing North Vietnamese main force. American strategy hinges on destroying Viet Cong bases while pacifying villages amid political instability in Saigon and rising Vietnamese apathy.
