What Westmoreland Got RIGHT in Vietnam: The MRF
General Westmoreland has taken his share of criticism for the allied failure in Vietnam. Today, we talk to professional historian Dr. John Sherwood, author of "War in the Shallows" about one of Westmoreland's best ideas in the Vietnam War--the Mobile Riverine Force. General Westmoreland was a strong proponent and advocate for this unique, combined armed force.
Created to patrol and control the vast, strategically vital Mekong Delta region, the MRF developed into a highly successful rapid reaction force. Dr. Sherwood explains why the joint US Army/Navy command structure worked so well, how the Mobile Riverine Force was equipped, and why it struggled in one of its costliest defeats on the Rac Ba Rai in late 1967.
Our thanks not only to Dr. John Sherwood, but also to the entire staff at the...

"Westmoreland: The General Who Lost Vietnam" by Dr. Lewis Sorley
Is this man the real reason the Vietnam War was lost? How did he get there, why did he fail, and how did he last so long? Unless and until we understand General William Westmoreland, we will never understand what happened to us in Vietnam, or why. An Eagle Scout at fifteen, First Captain of his West Point class, Westmoreland fought in World War II and Korea, rising rapidly to command the 101st Airborne Division and become Superintendent at West Point, then was chosen to lead the war effort in Vietnam.
That turned out to be a disaster. He failed to understand a complex war, choosing a flawed strategy, sticking to it in the face of all opposition, and misrepresenting the results when truth mattered most. In so doing he squandered four years of support by Congress, much of the media, and the...
