Speaking in Los Angeles on February 9th, Curtis leMay, a retired Air Force general and a past Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that the Vietnam war must be won with bombs - even atomic bombs - and can only be lost by negotiation. "Communist aggression", he added, "can only be halted by communist disasters." He discounted the likelihood of Chinese or Soviet intervention in the event of further American escalation.
