- William_Westmoreland abstract "William Childs Westmoreland (March 26, 1914 – July 18, 2005) was a United States Army general, widely blamed for the heavy losses in the Vietnam War.From Westmoreland’s arrival in South Vietnam in January 1964, his brief was to achieve outright victory over the Northern-backed Viet Cong, with minimal US casualties, without provoking the Chinese by attacks on the North. Even some of his critics acknowledged that these demands were contradictory, and when casualties inevitably mounted, he was accused of pursuing a war of attrition. During his period of command, both the Battle of Ia Drang (Nov. 1965) and the Tet Offensive (Jan. 1968) were technically US victories, but enemy activity continued to escalate, while the My Lai Massacre caused outrage over the murder of innocent civilians. By the time he left to become Army chief of staff, US manpower in Vietnam had reached a peak of 535,000. Westmoreland’s strategy, based on artillery and air power, was generally defeated by the enemy’s increasing use of guerrilla tactics, enabling them to keep the initiative.".
