...documentary in effect accused the former U.S. military commander in South Viet Nam of joining in "a conspiracy at the highest levels of military intelligence" to underreport enemy troop strength in the months before the 1968 Tet offensive, in order to persuade other officials, and the public, that victory was in sight.
