...Brothers Four. The U.S. is deeply committed to hold South Viet Nam against the Chinese-backed Viet Cong guerrillas, because???according to the old "falling domino theory"?Laos and Cambodia would be outflanked, Thailand caught in a vise, and the Malay Peninsula severely threatened if South Viet Nam were to fall.
