...cost. While one division could be created before the end of the year from the divisions and brigades still left in the U.S., anything more than that would require higher draft calls or some call-up of Reserves. And while one additional division could operate within the present logistic base in Viet Nam, with only a small (10,000 men) supply detachment of its own, two or three divisions would require a much broader support base-and many more men. Thus, since it would need little new logistic support, one more combat division could...
...hardly find it worthwhile to run shoddy, vulgar campaigns. They certainly do not underestimate the public's readiness to be gulled; but they know that in the long run, fakery does not pay off.

One of the least costly items is fuel (less than...
...dirty dozen get knocked off as they kill most of the officers and blow the building to bits in some of the loudest, bloodiest battle scenes since Darryl Zanuck made his armies work The Longest Day. In the end, Marvin makes it back to a base hospital with the sole remnant of the patrol. There, a general praises them for a job well done and fatuously commutes the sentences of the prisoners-posthumously...
