We moved in to help the Vietnamese defend their country and confront the Viet Cong.

I do not believe that the men who served in uniform in Vietnam have been given the credit they deserve. It was a difficult war against an unorthodox enemy.

It became very clear that Hanoi was in effect strategically running the Viet Cong operation.

By the end of the summer of 1973 I thought it was virtually impossible for South Vietnam to survive. How in the heck could they?

Vietnam was the first war ever fought without any censorship. Without censorship, things can get terribly confused in the public mind.
