on a visit to south vietnam, senator hollings from westmoreland's home state of south carolina was told by westmoreland, we're killing these people, the enemy, at a ratio of 10 to 1. said hollings, westie, the american people don't care about the ten, they care about the one. westmoreland department get it. his response to any problem was to request more troops. the result was a buildup of u.s. contingent of ground forces that eventually reached well over half a million men. but when the troop requests kept coming with no evident progress in the winning of the war, washington's patience finally ran out. in the spring of 1967, westmoreland asked for 200,000 more troops but got only a fraction of that amount. at the time he stated publicly that he was delighted with the outcome. but in his memoirs decided instead that he had been extremely disappointed. later still on the witness stand in a libel trial suit he brought against cbs television, he changed his stance again and said he had not been extremely disappointed. in response to cbs attorney read from west more lapp's own book, extreme

most importantly the upgrading of south vietnam's military forces and dealing with pacification. his way of war did nothing to affect the situation in south viet nam's hamlets and villagess where the enemy's coverage infrastructure was left free to continue using coercion and terror to dominate but rural populist. westmoreland deprived the south vietnamese of modern weaponry giving u.s. and other allied forces priority to issue the new and 16 rifle and other advanced military wherewithal. the south vietnamese went for years equipped with a cast of world war ii u.s. equipment while being outgunned by the communists who were provided the great ak-47 assault rifle and other advanced equipment by their backers, the soviet union and communist china. it is very important to know that was left the westmoreland to devise his own approach the conduct of the war. the conventional view of the war even now is that was micromanaged from washington. there are many stories of how we all know that lyndon johnson's white house's tuesday lunches and so on, he and other civilian officials would eve
