...compare the situation with China and Indo-China. America is trying to use force to back up an unpopuar regime...
What the U.S. Can Do. The U.S. is committed to $23.5 million of civilian aid to the Vietnamese government. Saigon also expects that the U.S. will spend $200 million for military aid to Indo-China (out of the total of $300 million earmarked for southeast Asia).
