On pages 89 to 92 of his article on the US in Vietnam, Peter Dunn describes operation "Cedar Falls." He argues that the "Cedar Falls" failed to achieve its primary objective. What evidence does he provide to support that claim? Because most of the helicopters transporting US forces broke down mid-operations. That within 48 hours Viet Cong were reported in the area of operations. Mounting Cedar Falls required denuding much of the rest of Vietnam of US forces. Almost no Viet Cong were taken prisoner.
