Rosson, recently named as boss of the sort of "individual soldiers" McNamara mainly had in mind: the men of the U.S. Army's Special Forces. The Special Forcemen are training all of South Viet Nam's Ranger companies, all of the loyalist troops in Laos, and five-man teams of South Vietnamese paratroopers for behind-the-lines raids. One of the Army's toughest combat soldiers, Rosson, at 43, is also its youngest major general, a Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Oregon...
