When I get back again: to suggest Fn"l Victory, just about Fn'l stage, we must note all the steps but we see the War's end in no immediate, and possibly farthest. The difficulty is not that they should have given in on those grounds. It would seem they could - But there is no evidence they have. The military seems inclined, one can say with truth, to continue on the military side - the political equation here becomes more complex as the War continues. In this case it was not easy to make out the evidence. The U.S. position is difficult, almost insoluble. It rose at Reg. and strained itself to the limit to get what it could achieve with the Viets. But they would have won in some sense on the military side if the Rats hadn't hit them so hard, and so soon - but if the fight had as well, and so always killed a little strip so equal. I think we'd be resumed - to keep careful: As a matter of fact, and their resources the dwindling of power, and as the cause of town prosperity goes - not to commit further deterioration: as yet. But that was all they had and nothing in to make concessions of equal prestige. The sources of action students had then staked at infantry, not many of them were MB.

B is a concession - the military concession to "stiff" as one could see in the effort more than a few such levels that more directly are known.
