...movement toward peace until that cutoff date, since "any incentive for the enemy to negotiate is destroyed if he is told in advance if he just waits for 18 months, we'll be out anyway." Nixon seemed goaded into insisting that he hoped to end the war even faster, although the goal he stated of being out "before the end of 1970 or the middle of 1971" extends past Goodell's deadline. "We're on a course that is going to end this war," he declared. "It will end much sooner if we can have a united...
...part, the U.S. did not do much to nurture East-West good will. The Cleveland courts were larded with three layers of asphalt and topped with a cementlike finish, all of which made the surface considerably faster than any the Rumanians have ever seen.

"Naturally," said a U.S. general, "we felt that we could do the job better and faster, and, of course, ARVN worked less and less. Unfortunately, once you imply that a fighting force is second-rate, and treat it that way, it becomes pretty hard to reverse the trend." To G.I.s, South Vietnamese soldiers were a joke. They were referred to as "gooks," as "them Nugents" (from Nguyen...
