Chief of staff. Its intent was to built up have lets and villages, in south vietnam, they end ed up with 20,000 people killed. Colby defended phoenix and almost all those deaths were combat casualties. Turned off a lot of phoenix deaths were assassination and torture and a lot of the operators worked with vix under the cia even though colby send out a memos to the people involved and say we dont condone expert judicial punishment.
