One argument leveled by Westmoreland at the time (and often quoted by historians of the battle) was that only two Marine regiments were tied down at Khe Sanh compared with several NVA divisions.
Un argument ridicat de Westmoreland la acea vreme (și citat de istoricii bătăliei) a fost că doar două regimente de pușcași marini se aflau blocate la Khe Sanh față de mai multe divizii ale APV.
