kept them in the fight and not ovverrun, until air could be brought in.
In my opinion if westmorland had fought the small unit way of the USMC rather than his ww2/ Korea mindset not only would casualties have been lower, but more would have been achieved to the point were I believe the south would have been able to do it all themselves and not have the financial support taken away by a leftist congresses in 1973.
A great read written at the time so it doesn't have any 20/20 hindsight Monday-morning quarterbacking!
I am just now learning from my Kindle what was happening with all of the supplies we were carrying to those remote landing strips all over the country.
