Female Conscripts. On the other side, the Viet Cong has taken full advantage of the martial tradition of Vietnamese women, a tradition that goes back to the two Trung sisters' fight to repel Chinese invaders in A.D. 39. Running short of male conscripts, the Communists have lately recruited all-female combat units. Women now make up an estimated one-third to one-half of V.C. main-force troops...

While Israeli and Jordanian troops traded fire in daily duels across the muddy Jordan River, Israeli Premier Levi Eshkol observed ominously that "any form of war and incitement to war will oblige us to repel, deter, and take the battle to the enemies' gates and beyond."

What is happening in our Navy, which once responded so manfully to the command, "Pipe all hands to repel boarders"? If the captain of the Pueblo was instructed never to use his machine guns, something is wrong with our leadership. Time and again military units of the U.S. have been insulted or knocked about because a cold-war enemy shrewdly guessed that the unit would suffer such treatment...
