"General Westmorland: Was he or was he not a yes man?"

Can't imagine any 4-Star General - putting on, or keeping on - his stars without far too many yes answers along the way to the top.

>> Was he or was he not a yes man? <<

Gen. Westmoreland ran his own NATO-style war, which was a dismal failure. LBJ couldn’t do much to change Westy’s approach. It was only when he was replaced by Gen. Abrams that we started seriously to win in VN.

Moreover, thanks to that winning strategy, and if it hadn’t been for Watergate, South Vietnam probably could have survived as an independent nation.
