I
believe
that's what Bill Westmoreland said to Johnson in late '65 / early '66.  It
wasn't Ia Drang (battle between 7th Air Cav. & NVA regulars) behind his
call
for more troops, but attrition of Marines near Da Nang by Viet Cong
"sappers".  They would hit platoon/squad-sized patrols and then vanish
into
the bush before we could reply "in force".  Usually only one or two grunts
a
day were getting wasted at this point.  Sound familiar?
