WHAT will happen when the U.S. withdraws its ground forces from Viet Nam? The first trial run came at Ben Het, the embattled South Vietnamese outpost near Cambodia that was the well-publicized object of enemy pressure for 55 successive days. For the first time since the massive U.S. military buildup in 1965, South Vietnamese forces (ARVN) bore the brunt of a major ground action in the difficult border terrain.

It is best for us and for all the Arabs to have this noninvolved outpost." Many Lebanese agree, on the practical ground that a draft would cost at least $30 million. Editorialized the Beirut Star: "Lebanon realizes that Israel's military might is much stronger than her own. It would take a great deal of money to improve on the situation. Since 1943, we have followed a policy of letting...
